Oh, I am a girl, the forFgettable face

But MaGma, can you hear Amme?
As I Fdragged on my day's last cigaretteC  
He Gpulled me Amso hard

And inside of this moment there are Fthings I wish I could know
Like your Cring size and my ring size and the Fhour I was born
And my Amdad's middle name and your Ffavourite song
Was your Cdarkest day as Fdark as this one?
[CHORUS]
MaGma, can you hear Amme?
As I Fdragged on my day's last cigaretteC  
He Gpulled me Amso hard 
Off my Fvery own back door stepsC  
And he Glaid me in his Amgarden
All the Fyears I've watched him tendC  
And then he Gtook me, MaAmma
So I could Fnever tell you aboCut it
Now I'm a Fgirl who's face they'll never forgeCt
