Verse #1 She was the prom queen The most beautiful girl This town had ever seen But she was lonely inside It was so hard to hide (oh) No father, no man in her life All alone with her thoughts Feelings of hate would rise Bitterness, loneliness She would start to think of herself As less (oh) Chorus #1 (oh) But a little goes a long way, Goes a long way, Goes a long way, Maybe you should intervene Or pretend you don’t see All the tears, all the pain, the insecurities Love her when she’s low You’re the only Jesus she may ever know And love her when she’s at a lost
And help carry that cross Oh carry that cross Verse #2 Broken and beaten he was The needle entered his vein Poisoning his blood Eyes red, sweat drips, pale lips Thinking maybe I should end All of this Chorus #2 But a little goes a long way, Goes a long way, Goes a long way, Maybe you should intervene Or pretend you don’t see All the tears, all the pain, the insecurities Love him when he’s low You’re the only Jesus he may ever know And love him when he’s at a loss (oh) And help carry that cross And help that carry that cross (oh)
