Only In The Movies

She didn't sleep in her room
For fear she'd wake up dead
She didn't let her feet
Hang over the side of the bed
She closed her eyes tight
So she wouldn't see the things in the dark
And many times she wondered
If she'd have a heart attack
A heart attack
The girl in black with a hundred stars next to her name
She's a big girl
No she's not
Not
Not
Not

Would you tell me a story
To put my mind at ease
Would you leave on my night light
Or something, please
Remind me things only happen
In the movies
I want my mommy

I don't suppose you'd realize
How it feels
I don't suppose you'd realize
How it feels
I don't suppose you'd realize
How it feels
I don't suppose you'd realize
I don't suppose you'd realize

She didn't sleep in her room
For fear she'd wake up dead
She didn't let her feet
Hang over the side of the bed
She closed her eyes tight
So she wouldn't see the things in the dark
And many times she wondered
If she'd have a heart attack
