The Girl Who Stands Alone


Out from the darkness
Out from the cold
Her life is hell
A battle to overcome
Victory is accounting the tears she has shed
Walking into crowds of unknown
People sip their wine without recognizing
Though you don't know her, your mind is recalling
In the depth of time
Planned beforehand, she conserved herself for you
Then hoping in her sadness shame
It was just as it was
She waited like the last time
Believing you would not go that far
That time was wrong
You see, she's the girl who stands alone
Disguising her hurt, crying all alone
And if she cannot speak a line
Will you just walk on by?
Leaving her behind, to break her once more inside
She blushes in the silent room
The clock bangs, and beats the hours
Another chapter reveals her darkness
Her golden green eyes see right through you
Reading every feeling that you feel
But can you understand what she's going through?
Or is your judgement the fatalism of her?
She's the girl who stands alone
Killing her inside, but she won't let it show
There is no accounting then for my regret
That you were someone else's
And if I smile, I can say knowing that somewhere you believed me
Only an empty shadow knows
There is no accounting then for my request
That you were someone else's
I cannot forget and I can say
Knowing that somewhere you believed me
Once is for all time
You see, she's the girl who stands alone
Separated from the rest
Facing the world on her own
Yes, she's the one, the girl who stands alone...
