Special Girl

Daddy called me special like a name he knew by heart Said the Lord had marked me early placed the fire, and lit the spark He said, "Baby, keep on walking He sees you when you cry" So I grew up watching blessings fall like judgment from the sky Folks who beat me till I cried out folks who laughed and walked away They would stumble, they would shiver till some bad things came their way I thought, That's His hand I see I thought, That's my proof That Heaven keeps a ledger and it always knew the truth I'm a special girl I was chosen from the start I'm a special girl with a warm and open heart If you kept score for me then you know what he did I'm a big girl now I'll handle this Last night I found the message his screen lit up my skin Her name was folded in his lies something rotting from within I stood there in the hallway breathing shallow, no more tears Then I turned to my reflection Have we wasted all these years? I said, Lord, I know the pattern I have seen what comes to men Who make beds of broken promises and turn to sleep again But this one is mine to answer this one stays inside my bones I won't wait on Heaven's Thunder This one, I'll make on my own I'm a special girl I was chosen from the start I'm a special girl with a worn and broken heart If you kept score for me then you know what he did I'm a big girl now I'll handle this So, I sat there in the darkness with my body still and calm The house hushed: gentle breathing like a hymn within the hall He can come home to me smiling with her taste upon his mouth My love's turned hard deep inside me I won’t cry and I won’t shout I'm a special girl I was chosen from the start I'm a special girl with a cold and empty heart If you kept score for me then you know what he did I'm a big girl now I'll handle this Daddy told me I was special and I believe him still But tonight I let the judgment find its way by my own will I'm a special girl I'm a special girl 'Cause tonight my loves lies waiting and its hunger numbs my pain Sometimes God will take a back seat And sing along to my refrain I'm a special girl special girl special girl Authorship & Production Notice: The lyrics, vocal melodies, and original structural arrangements in this track are human-authored works composed entirely by Gary Healy.
