She Don’t Want The World
The open wound she hides
She just keeps it bundled up
And never lets it show
She can’t take much more of this
But she can’t let it go
And that’s ok, she don’t want the world
All the things she says
While he’s just lying there
Without someone to hear her cry
She slips off into a dream
About a place to hide
And that’s ok, she don’t want the world
This love she feels
Everything she’s ever known
Or ever thought was real
Seems like it’s been thrown away
Now how’s she gonna live
It’s ok, she don’t want the world
Those words he never spoke
Haunt her life, the memories
Of all the times before
She tried to show him love
While he would only ask for more
But it’s ok, she don’t want the world
Softly in her sleep
Pictures of the life she’s longing
For slowly appear
She’s seen them all before
But somehow never quite this clear
She just smiles, she don’t want the world
This love she feels
Everything she’s ever known
Or ever thought was real
Seems like it’s been thrown away
Now how’s she gonna live
It’s ok, she don’t want the world
A brand new morning shines
As she wakes up alone again
This time to face the day
She swears there’s time to make it
As she simply walks away
And it’s ok, she don’t want the world
