The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I used to think that I was a good girl
I used to think that the world was fair
Things have gone just a little bit crazy
Don't think I belong anywhere
I'm not so sure, I don't think I know
And I'm not afraid to tell you I'm a little bit scared
The way things are going I'm never gonna get there
No, the way things are going I'm never gonna get there
I used to think that I was a dreamer
I used to have my head in the clouds
Lately life's been nothing but a nightmare
The world keeps turning around and around
The world keeps turning around and around
The world keeps turning around and around
I feel so close, I don't think I know
And it's hard for me to tell you, its a little bit weird
The way things are going I'm never gonna get there
No, the way things are going I'm never gonna get there
I used to think I was a dreamer
I'm never gonna get there
No the way things are going I'm never gonna get there
I used to be a good girl
I used to be a good girl
I used to be a good girl
I used to be a good girl
