she hides the tears in her eyes
caused by the one who should never make her cry
but only he can break her heart this way
she will forget how he hurt her the very next day

he knows her so well,
giving her just enough to make her want to stay
just when she starts to feel safe again
he starts to pull away

in a single simple moment,
he makes her feel on top of the world
and she smiles for a little while
shes so very proud to be his girl

but as quickly as he builds her up
he knocks her down farther than shes ever been
each time he does she vows to herself
she wont ever let it happen again

but with a soft sweet kiss
he pulls her close and holds her tight
she closes her eyes against his chest
but she cries late into the night

she knows this isnt right for her
she knows this just isnt fair
but then he tells her shes pretty
that he loves her and he touches her hair

one moment shes so sure of her love for him
she gives him all of her there is
this is a miracle in itself because shes been broken before
and theres just not much left to give

the next moment she wants to hide her eyes and cry
she hates him with a vengance so strong
this isnt how its supposed to be
is this truly what she had waited for so long?

this love and hate relationship kills her inside
she fights a war inside her head everyday
some days she wants to run to him
other days she wishes she could run away

how can something she wanted so bad
something she ached for -- feel so wrong?
she doesnt want to be alone again...
but then again, she doesnt want to play along

she wants to tell him to leave her be
let her fix her heart again on her own
shes learned so well how to do it over the years
to protect whats left of it where the scars have grown

she hides the tears in her eyes
as she watches him walk away
she wants to call him back to her...
but this girl has nothing left to say
