I once knew a girl
Who used to run to me
Whenever she was scarred
She could always cry with me
She was so young and innocent
Could not believe her strength
To cause peace within her family
She'd go to any length
Try as though she might
She could never make things perfect
She always gave her all
Much more than you'd expect it
Just so bright and happy
You'd never know her pain
She'd never let you in
Never would complain
One day that precious little girl,
Her eyes turned cold as ice
She'd taken all that she could take
Make no more sacrifice!
They'd caused her so much more than tears
They'd caused her so much pain
She'd cut herself to get relief
Still, She'd not complain
You'd never know her pain was there...
Until you saw those eyes
They look so dull and empty
Just like she felt inside
I only knew when it got bad
The day that she stopped crying
She swallowed pain and carried hurt
Inside her soul was dying
Someone tell this little girl
That tears are lovely gifts
They help reduce our pain
So we don't drown within the rifts
Who used to run to me
Whenever she was scarred
She could always cry with me
She was so young and innocent
Could not believe her strength
To cause peace within her family
She'd go to any length
Try as though she might
She could never make things perfect
She always gave her all
Much more than you'd expect it
Just so bright and happy
You'd never know her pain
She'd never let you in
Never would complain
One day that precious little girl,
Her eyes turned cold as ice
She'd taken all that she could take
Make no more sacrifice!
They'd caused her so much more than tears
They'd caused her so much pain
She'd cut herself to get relief
Still, She'd not complain
You'd never know her pain was there...
Until you saw those eyes
They look so dull and empty
Just like she felt inside
I only knew when it got bad
The day that she stopped crying
She swallowed pain and carried hurt
Inside her soul was dying

So we don't drown within the rifts
