She said I was a good girl,

I played by the rules.

I listened to orders,

And I did well in school.

 

I was always the good girl,

Quiet and polite.

Never saying a word,

For fear of a fight.

 

But now I'm not a good girl,

Since I closed my eyes.

Broke one little rule,

Being good was a lie.

 

He said I still think you're a good girl,

Good girls can be in pain, too.

They can be imperfect,

And good still be in you.

 

You're still a good girl,

He said you just lost your way.

And in a good world,

Things can always change.
