Who is this girl?
She's driving in the rain,
And she's listening to the songs,
That she knows will bring her pain.
Reflecting on her life,
Contemplating every move,
She apologizes for all her wrongs,
Even though she's got nothing to prove.
She isn't allowed to be faltered,
She puts others before her,
She has to perfect even though she's the weakest.
She said,
"Do you think I could speak?
Do you think I could breathe?
Lay your head on my chest,
Can you hear my heart beating?"
If you'd only look closer,
You'll see that there's someone she's trying to hide,
If you'd only look sooner,
You'll see that she's suffering inside.
She's trapped between the person she is,
And the person she's supposed to be,
She fakes her smiles and she fakes them so she believes them,
She does what people tell her to,
'Cause she can't make her decisions.
She said,
"Do you think I could speak?
Do you think I could breathe?
Lay your head on my chest,
Can you hear my heart beating?"
If you'd only look closer,
You'll see that there's someone she's trying to hide,
If you'd only look sooner,
You'll see that she's suffering inside.
She's looking forward to holidays,
Because they're the only days that still have meaning.
She said,
"Someone turn off the music,
Can you hear me screaming?"
She said,
"Do you think I could speak?
Do you think I could breathe?
Lay your head on my chest,
Can you hear my heart beating?"
If you'd only look closer,
You'll see that there's someone she's trying to hide,
If you'd only look sooner,
You'll see that she's suffering inside.
