What do you say to a girl who walks alone?
She says she doesn't want friends, but she doesn't want home.
Her day isn't finished until she's cried for a while.
You can't expect a girl like that to walk with a smile.
She doesn't look herself without sadness in her eye,
And if you watch long enough, you can see it in her stride.
You'd expect a girl like that to have arms right beneath her,
But the only arms around don't care enough to reach her.
What do you say to a girl without faith?
And how do you rid of her involuntary face?
She says she's got love to fill a million hearts,
But its just not enough to mend what tore her apart.
I wonder what she dreams of when she lies down to rest.
She wouldn't keep it a secret but its not hard to guess.
She says sometimes she dreams of what it'd be like to have wings.
You'd expect a girl like that to wish for such things.
What do you say to a girl who can't find her smile?
You don't say a word, you let her talk for a while.
Don't tell her anything, just let her tell you.
The only thing you should convince her of, is that she'll get through.
