She stands feet together with her hands by her sides
Her face looks so pretty, but that's only where she hides
And her eyes tell a story, she can't believe the things she's seen
She's been hurt in many ways now, but that's the way it's always been
Aw, yeah
This light casts a shadow over your pretty face
This shadow creates a darkness that hides your foul disgrace
An' your mouth tells a story, somethin' that's never been
Your words paint a picture, colored rich with sin
You say it's not about you
Can't stand the things you've seen
You say it's not a frown now
It's a crooked smile upon which you lean
I see how you hold up, you always bend but never break
But I think that you'll learn now how much bending you can take
Oh, yeah
I worry it's taking over, this madness in your mind
It shows me something, somewhere I have to find
Somewhere in this heartbreak, a world so unkind
Shows me something, somewhere I have to find
Yeah, somewhere I have to find
