The Girl in the Light
Cold hands
Warm smile
She's got those eyes
To keep you going for awhile
Head high
Eyes low
She takes a deep breath
Says take it slow
And you wonder bout her every day
She's just there to make the pain go away
What you don't know
Is she wipes her tears when it snows
The sparkling white reminds her of her past life
When she was pure
And when all was right
The story of the girl in the light
They say "smile
Give me fierce" can't be fragile
They say "hold this"
Smile big and strike a few poses
And you wonder about her everyday
She's just there to keep the bills paid
What you don't see
The girl you know isn't reality
Crying backstage
Only doing what she has to to make a good wage
Remember the good ole days when all was right
The story of the girl in the light
Hand held to you
The only comfort she ever knew
"Don't fret you got this"
Helping others through all their shit
"Help them" she's thinking
No thought of how she sinking
And some wonder about her everyday
But never helping her make the pain go away
A heart of gold broken and bent
Her soul is slowly fading her mind being spent
What you don't see
Is her reality
Secretly pleading with God for the end
Angel of death she prays the Lord will send
No one ever sees her internal strife
The story of the girl in the light
