I Know a Girl

I know a girl
Who grew up way too fast
In a house made of glass where things got broken
And I know a girl
Who didn't let it keep her down
Pushed the pedal to the ground, kept those wheels rolling
When all you want is what you had
And what you had you can't get back

You speed on up to slow back down
That's just the way the world goes 'round
It'll break your heart
It'll make you think you've lost everything
And the kitchen sink
When I'm down and out and when it hurts like hell
I tell myself that I know a girl

Who could have swore she found the one
Just to wind up looking dumb when he left her
But I know a girl who finally learned to love herself
Without needing someone else to make things better
And I hear her talking to me in the mirror

Yeah, you speed on up to slow back down
That's just the way the world goes 'round
It'll break your heart
It'll make you think you've lost everything
And the kitchen sink
When I'm down and out and when it hurts like hell
I tell myself that I know a girl

Who always pulls me through
Sometimes I think she knows me better
Better than I do (than I do)

Yeah, you speed on up to slow back down (you speed on up to slow back down)
That's just the way the world goes 'round (the way the world goes 'round)
It'll break your heart
It'll make you think you've lost everything
And the kitchen sink
When I'm down and out and when it hurts like hell
I tell myself that I know a girl (I tell myself)

I know a girl
