[Verse 1]
She runs to the wishing well
With her pocket full of dreams
One after the other
Throws them all into the deep
Throws them all into the deep
The fever is in her veins
Every moment she's awake
Secretly she listens
Waiting for the wind to change
[Pre-Chorus]
Desperate to break away
To live what she believes
But she's afraid to try
Cause no one's ready for the girl
Desperate to find a world
Where she can hold her own
But she's afraid to try
Cause no one's ready for the girl
(No one's ready for the girl)
[Chorus]
Held back by reputations
Just waiting for the time to pa**
Brought down by expectations
But she's not gonna fight
Cause no one's ready for the girl
[Verse 2]
Her life's not a wonderland
But it's all she's ever known
Secretly she wishes
There will be another door
[Pre-Chorus]
Desperate to break away
To live what she believes
But she's afraid to try
Cause no one's ready for the girl
It's hard to make a stand
Hanging from a string
But she's afraid to try
Cause no one's ready for the girl
(No one's ready for the girl)
[Chorus]
Held back by reputations
Just waiting for the time to pa**
Brought down by expectations
But she's not gonna fight
Cause no one's ready for the girl
[Bridge]
She might be too much
(No one's ready for the girl)
Oh, but never enough
No one really knows, oh
No one really knows, oh oh
She's living someone else's life
Cause no one's ready for the girl
[Chorus 2]
Held back by reputations
Just waiting for the time to pa**
Brought down by expectations
But she's afraid to fight
Cause no one's ready for the girl
