Lyrics
I met a little girl with all the cash but nothing to sell
The speaker encountered a girl who had financial resources but lacked something to sell or offer.
Her mother took a lot her father never made sure she was held
The girl's mother took a significant amount, and her father neglected to provide emotional support or comfort.
Her roots go down so deep her mind is sharpened tight from all the pain
The girl has deep roots, and her mind is sharp from enduring pain.
It took her years to know that she deserved to be someones favourite name
It took the girl years to realize that she deserved to be someone's favorite.
She puffs a cigarette and wishes things were not the way they were
The girl smokes a cigarette and wishes things were different, then accepts the reality and acknowledges the pain.
Then sips acceptance in a jar and comes to terms with how it hurt
She accepts the situation, building emotional resilience despite the hurt.
With armour thicker than the sweet old bloody gates of hell
Despite having a tough exterior, the girl has a soft and loving side hidden beneath.
But underneath the softest love filled nest of someone hiding in their shell
Beneath her tough exterior lies a soft, love-filled space where she hides.
