She's running out of reasons to believe
She tries so awful hard to deny
Too scared of the gift she could receive
Wants to belong here
She's not well
It's a dark and winding path through heaven and hell

Want her to feel complete
Like she matters to the one she needs
If she'd listen to me closely
She'd hear me call her name
So helplessly

So confused and it hurts me so
This thing she does takes a hell of a toll
She's got a smart mouth and a killer smile
Makes me crazy when she turns away
This shit hurts but it's worth the while

Inside of her she keeps her feelings
Try as I may I'll never quite reach them
See her stare, her smile fades away
Lost in her thoughts but she's okay

The one I dream of
Somehow I'll never touch

Cries at the end of each day
Lies when she says she's okay
Can't waste your tears on her
It's her curse

So I'll play my song and think of her
Want to take her pain away
I'll show her
Play my song and think of her til my dying day
