She saw your face across the street
She turned away
See, you're not something she needs
She's independent
She's weak at times
You won't stop her
You can't change her mind
She's got her eyes closed
While you're outside
She whispers softly
"Only children cry."
Along the way home
She stops into the diner
You once said you loved her
And she once said goodbye
[Chorus]
She's not what the world sees
And she's never been a saint
She's been hiding in a trench coat
She's covered scars with paint
Whatever lives inside her
Is trying to break free
She's done watching clouds
Pa** by her window
She's done feeling hopeless
When the wind blows
Yeah, oh
You think it's only about yourself
You forget about her
And what falls from her mouth
You don't believe me
But I know she wishes
You were by her side
Oh, but love changes time
[Chorus]
It's alright
To be beautiful, being free
It's alright
She still loves you [x2]
She saw your face
Across the street
She turned away
And then fell upon her knees
She's been ripped open
A million times
You've got to save her
Got to call her mine
[Chorus]
