That girl

See that girl
The one on the corner
Eyes so green yet so sublte
You never wouldve known


She's always been the strong one
Never needed anyone
Or so she wants the world to believe


I use to be that girl
Kept everyone at arms length
Determined to make it alone
Running on the fumes of strength
Spent my days shutting out the world
And my nights crying til I could sleep
You see that girl
I see me


See that girl
The one sitting alone
A passion so fierce
But you never wouldve known


She's always been independent
Stubborn and capable
Or so she wants the world to believe


I use to be that girl
Kept everyone at arms length
Determined to make it alone
Running on the fumes of strength
Spent my days shutting out the world
And my nights crying til I could sleep
You see that girl
I see me


I want her to wake up
I want her to see
But I couldnt wake my self
Someone else had to save me


Next time you see that girl
The one who looks like she has it all
That's the one to watch out for
She's on the edge and ready to fall
Don't let her strength make you believe
Her stubbornness is only a testament to her frailties
I should know


When you see that girl
I see me
