Dear Diary
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[Chorus 1]
Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets
Cause you're the only one that I know who'll keep them
Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets
I know you'll keep them, and this is what I've done
I don't know how to change what went wrong
Daddy's little girl when he went away
What did it teach me? That love leaves
[Chorus 1]
I've been down every road you could go
I made some bad choices as you know
Seems I have the whole world cradled in my hands
But its just like me not to understand
[Chorus 2]
Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets
Cause you're the only one that I know who'll keep them
Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets
I've been a bad, bad girl
I learned my lessons
I turned myself around
I've got a guardian angel tattooed on my shoulder
She's been watching over me
[Chorus 2: x2]
I've been a bad, bad girl
