When we met she told me stories of
The things he did the life she thought he’d lived
Strange how cold his hands felt on her face
So she said told me of the place

The view the love was there, the memories they shared
In the house on the hill and how her heart was filled
With warmth and happiness in her flower dress
As a child she was always loved

Then sirens blinked outside she had no place to hide
Her perfect family destroyed by her memories
Then her mother screamed honey stop these games
She is fragile she is my angel

What he thought was real was never right
And to him it was just another night
But not to her it was the end of her life
Memories of her with bruises from her father's fist

There’s no chance for him to save
There’s no chance that he can take it back
The pain is always gonna weigh
Weigh her down, down to the ground

Then he dug that dagger deep beneath her neck she had secrets to keep
And then she saw the other side of him short of her earnings with her fathers yearning
For her to be more than he was before
The bar is set by man with regret

What’s a girl suppose to do
With no one to protect her for you
What’s a girl suppose to be
When all she knows is how not to believe

Mistakes of the past the rising sun will shed some light at last and the work to be done
Life has a funny way of saving us from pain
By serving us misery tied to our history
What’s a girl suppose to do
When all she wants to do is run from you
How’s a girl suppose to know
How to show someone she loves
