Greatest Fear

That girl you see, she's standing there
She hides behind her pretty hair
She cries inside but smiles without
She gives the whole wide world a shout
Reminding them of the scars he left her
He cries aloud, because he knows it's over

In a crowded room she feels alone
She taps her heels three times
but she can't go home

He was her escape, her only way out
So she misses him without a doubt
She's tried moving on but she can't let go
She tries so hard not to let it show

She cries herself to sleep at night
'Cause she's unaware and not ready to fight
Another battle in this dark, cold war

She knows she'll never be the same
It takes all she's got to keep from going insane
As she finally reaches her breaking point

A once white rose was painted red
Reminding her of the tears she's bled
Her bright smile once lit up the room
But now her sadness turns the whole world blue.

In a dark room she tries to find the light
but there's not an ounce of hope in sight
The world as she knew it was crashing down
But they couldn't even hear the sound
Of her voice crying out for help
Someone save me

Now she's crying for the whole wide world to hear
That her reality, is her greatest fear.
