Something's missing
Something's wrong
Something's gone
She looks into the past
And it's all the same
She's afraid to look into the future
She's terrified it will be more of the same
She has armor five feet thick
Walls ten feet high
She's slowly dying inside
And no one seems to see
Cause she hides her tears at night
But her eyes are haunted with longing
And her heart is missing chunks
She stopped searching two years ago
When her last hope was finally crushed
By a boy who didn't even know her middle name
Much less how incredible she is
She doesn't know it either
Maybe she seems okay on the outside
She says, “I'm fine” when she's breaking inside
But under that baggy sweater thats almost as blue as her eyes
The cuts on her heart show up on her skin
They've said, “I love you” so many times
And “You're beautiful”
Before they turned around and cut her heart
She doesn't believe the words anymore
Because that's all they are now, just words
She wants the truth
She wants something real
She needs someone to hold her
Someone who won't let go
Someone who isn't afraid of the battles warring inside her
Someone who doesn't just see the scars on her heart and skin
But sees the beauty that she doesn't know she is
Someone who will prove it to her until she believes it
Someone who will protect her
Who looks at her like the jewel she is
She's been looking for him in all the wrong places
She knew him once but life coiled around her
And pulled her away
But he's been waiting this whole time
He would wait forever for her
He keeps calling her name
He's so in love with her
She doesn't see the tears in his eyes
When he sees the hurt in her that no one else does
She doesn't know his arms ache to hold her close
She forgot that he gave his own life
In exchange for hers
So she could breathe and live and love
But she forgot what it felt like
The first time she fell in love with him
There's a happily ever after waiting for her
Just around the corner
All she has to do is look inside her heart
He's already there
