Girl Lyrics by Cammi McDermott

2024

I used to pretend I could take off my chest
On and off, on and off like Velcro
My own kinda joyride - a shirt from the boys' side
And flannel rolled up past my elbow
Teenagehood provoked me and soon, womanhood choked me
But sisterhood held me with care
The strictness confused me, so like in the movies
I suppressed what I could pretend wasn't there
I guess I was trying to unravel the world
I didn't grow into a woman
But I grew up as a girl
Time would soon pass and I dropped out of class
With my pride fallеn down past my ankles
I grew out my hair and I'd solemnly swеar
In my gut I'd suppress every tangle
But the older I grow the more I know
That it's more than a hyper-fixation
And somewhere sits that kid, and despite all I did
They're surviving through every mutation
I guess I was trying to unravel the world
I didn't grow into a woman
But I grew up as a girl
I can't explain but can't reject
Why there is this big disconnect
Especially when I don't fit the part
To put it into black and white
Would disservice what feels right
But i swear I've known it from the start
Maybe too big of a challenge to unravel the world
Might never grow into a woman
But I grew up as a girl
