I'm A Girl
Embracing Imperfection: A Girl's Journey to Self-Worth and Love
Lyrics
I've been looking for something that'll give me peace of mind
The speaker has been searching for something that brings inner peace.
You make me insecure, I pretend I'm good when I'm not
The presence of someone makes the speaker feel insecure, leading to a facade of well-being.
Cause I'm hurting, cause I'm bleeding, going crazy
Expressing emotional pain, bleeding metaphorically, and feeling overwhelmed.
I need you, just get me, you don't have me
The speaker needs the listener to understand and connect with them.
Not because I'm a girl, you need to have me
Rejecting the notion that being a girl is a sufficient reason for someone to possess or control them.
When I'm sad, you want to have me
When the speaker is sad, others desire them, possibly for comfort.
But I have to care, I have to care
Despite others wanting them, the speaker emphasizes the necessity of self-care.
Baby I'm enough, yeah
Asserting that the speaker is sufficient on their own.
Not because
Continuation of the rejection of being possessed solely because of gender.
Not because I'm a girl, you need to have me
Reiteration that being a girl is not a reason for others to claim the speaker.
When I'm sad, you want to have me
When the speaker is sad, others desire them, but the speaker emphasizes self-care.
But I have to care, I have to care
Emphasizing the necessity for self-care despite external desires.
Baby I'm enough, hey
Reaffirming self-sufficiency and worth.
I've been looking for something that'll give me peace of mind
Repetition of the search for inner peace.
You make me insecure, I pretend I'm good when I'm not
Reiteration of feeling insecure and pretending to be okay.
Cause I'm hurting, cause I'm bleeding, going crazy
Reiterating emotional pain, bleeding metaphorically, and feeling overwhelmed.
I need you, just get me, you don't have me
Expressing the need for understanding and connection.
Not because
Reiteration of the rejection of being possessed based on gender.
Not because I'm a girl, you need to have me
Continuation of the refusal to be possessed solely because of being a girl.
When I'm sad, you want to have me
When sad, others desire the speaker, but self-care is emphasized.
But I have to care, I have to care
Emphasizing the importance of self-care despite external desires.
Baby I'm enough, yeah
Reaffirmation of self-sufficiency and worth.
I'm a girl, you need to have me
Stating that being a girl does not make the speaker available for possession.
When I'm sad, you want to have me
When sad, others desire the speaker, but the speaker emphasizes self-care.
But I have to care, I have to care
Reiteration of the importance of self-care despite external desires.
Baby I'm enough, hey
Reaffirming self-sufficiency and worth.
