Just the thought brings tears to my eyes
I can feel my heart being wrenched apart
And I know this is all my fault
I’m the one who’s always in trouble
So surely I disserve to be punished
For all the things I still do wrong
It’s killing me from the inside out
But this is my penance for being bad
I should have spoken before
And told people why I get punished
It’s because I’m a naughty girl
I get good grades and I get scared
A good girl wouldn’t mess up mummy’s make-up
Or put honey in her hair gel
A good girl would never hide away
Terrified in the corner behind the toilet
For a good girl would never be punished
Because she never does bad things
But I’m always in trouble for being bad
Ever since I could do stuff myself
I’m fourteen years old and I still get beaten
For I’m a bad girl always doing the wrong thing
And that’s why I need to be punished like this
Everything’s falling apart cuz I’m so bad
I want to be a good girl and get told well done
I wish I could keep thing together and save us
But I’m a bad girl so I can’t do anything good
All I can do is hurt people and ruin things
I say the wrong thing and don’t do well enough
I’m not a good girl I’m a bad spoilt brat
