I would play
In my imagination
Throughout the whole day
I'd create my own stories
let my mind wander far
Every time we went any where
Especially in the car
When I was a girl
And because I was sick
I had to make things up
Yep, that was the trick
My brother was busy
My dad wad too
my mom was gone
But was I blue?
When I was a girl,
In my hospital bed
Nothing could compare
To what was in my head
Some kids were mean
and didn't want to play
I felt lonely & isolated
Sometimes quite gray
When I was a girl
At times it felt so fake
All that pretense
Was just a big escape
I realize it now
I spent my life in fantasy
Now as an adult
I try to create my reality
When I was a girl
I'd dream day and night
When I was a girl
