Why So Sad?

Does anyone know how it feels
To sacrifice your high ideals?
You've been a fool and that's the truth
Thinking your heart was bulletproof

Why so sad, little girl?
What you had, little girl
Turned out bad, little girl
Little girl

You don't need self-help books to know
The proper time for letting go
I couldn't say the grass is green
But can't be worse than where you've been

Why so sad, little girl?
What you had, little girl
Turned out bad, little girl
Little girl
Though you tried, little girl
Something died, little girl
Wounded pride, little girl
Little girl

Nobody ever wants to lose
But we don't get to pick and choose
Did no one warn you in advance
You wouldn't have a second chance?

Even so, little girl
Let it go, little girl
'Cause you're no little girl
Little girl
Take it slow, little girl
And lay low, little girl
But you're no little girl
Little girl
