"How do you stay positive?"
I could hear my heart breaking as she said it
Looking for an answer
Looking for peace of mind
Finding rest would be too kind
She doesn’t need a lover
Just a friend
*** won’t pass as a distraction
Not for her
Even though she used to be mine
Now she just fakes fine

I** think she forgot how to be happy
Or became cursed along the way
Turned into a rose one day
Look, but you can’t touch
Speak, but she’ll whisper “hush”
Beauty growing as fast as she speaks
It’s making these knees weak
Still shattered as all hell
Imperfections for everyone to see
Everyone, but me
Cause we’re building character
And you’re the only one I want to see

Give me a name
Tell me who did it
Hurt you to the point of extinction
With this loveless reaction
Your body rejects it
And took your voice to settle the score
Or maybe you can’t
Like your heart is in a war
Not a physical
Still gone girl distinction
I’ll tell you the difference
While she:
Lies like it’s nothing
Fakes a smile
Hides the cutting
Pretend, but you know there’s something

I've heard it all before
& know the feeling of wanting more
Until you learn to accept love
You’re going to stay broken
She has that damaged girl complexion
Loner girl rhythm
Forgotten girl syndrome  
Not an illness or condition
Just a broken girl anthem
