The girl so full of hope
she wanted to save the world
to brighten it each day

The world was far too heavy
now she's full of pain

She suffers more each day
in this world of dismay
but she is unaware
of just how perfect she truly is

She's ready to give in
to the pain that's deep within
I guess I feel the same

She thinks that she's alone
that no one else could know
but the agony she holds
grabs me just the same

I know her feelings
I know her pain
people say the monsters hide beneath the bed
but mine, mine crawl inside my head

And every now and then
I see her teary eyes
I guess I'm not the guy to walk away
I guess I'm not the guy to give up
cause one day the world will see
the beauty that she holds

Broken and drowning, I guess I know her pain
but I can't let her give up
I can't let her give in
so I'll never walk away.
