Samuel James - hallways Lyrics

She made a bet with the moon
When shes 16 her life begins soon
Soft-skinned juvenile cigarette soft smile

And I heard that she's always sad
And when she hurts her daddy gets mad
Go home it's hard
Go to bed no alarms
In the middle of the night she walks the hallways
There's no need for sleep cuz she couldn't dream if she did

Bruising watch the skin change
Fading every day's the same
You get mad hit hard
No smile hidden scars
In the middle of the night, she walks the hallways
And there's no need for sleep cuz she couldn't dream if she did
Permission for friends but you can't talk to the walls
She talks to the moon cuz you don't
Need permission from me

Hotline, green eyes, pink lips, no smile,
Mom says it's bad, but at least you are seen
Side eyes, jealousy, tear streaks, hard to see,
You cry to your mom saying it don't feel like seen to me
(Yeah)
And she lays there dazed in a bed filled with strangers,
No one will care if she left or she stayed
And she walks alone down the road to her home,
Never felt like she belonged,
(Never felt like she belonged)
It's been so damn long since she's felt love

She made a bet with the moon when she's 16,
She'll leave it all soon,
Soft skin, juvenile, innocent, pure smile
She told me, when she's all grown up,
She'll have children, and she'll show them love,
Soft smiles, pretty dream, pretty girl, no pain
