She Will Always Be A Broken Girl

She buys a new dress for the party

She always looks good in red

Turns around in front of the mirror

And disappears inside of her head

She wonders if he'll even remember

She asked him in a casual way

Just in case he didn't want to go with her

In that event she knew just what she would say

She thought of maybe asking a girlfriend

Even though she only has one or two

She's always done much better with boys anyway

So who needs girlfriends?

Pacing nervous across the floor of her bedroom

Gripping tight the phone in her hand

Fighting back the rush of emotions

And dreaming of just having a man

It's a long walk

And the music is loud

She sees an old friend

And she walks through the crowd

Puts on her best smile

But underneath it she's a broken girl

But it's a long walk

And the music is loud

She sees an old friend

As she walks through the crowd

Puts on her best smile

But she will always be a broken girl

She struggles with an awful decision

Stay at home or walk in alone

Her mother does her best to console her

Her father doesn't know what to say

Puts on her makeup

Puts on the new dress

Holds her head high then gets in the car

Tells herself that no one will notice

Assuming she can make it that far

On the way she imagines reactions

Cupped hands whispering into ears

Secretly hoping that he'll be there watching

And she's also hoping he won't

Walking tentative alone up the driveway

Sees some people smoking off to the side

She stops and waits until they go back in

Crosses her fingers and follows behind

It's a long walk

And the music is loud

She sees an old friend

And she walks through the crowd

Puts on her best smile

But underneath it she's a broken girl

It's a long walk

And the music is loud

She sees an old friend

As she walks through he crowd

Puts on her best smile

But she will always be a broken girl

He'll never get you, he will never understand

He'll never get you, you can find a better man

He'll never get you, he will never understand

He'll never get you, you can find a better man

He'll never get you, he will never understand

He'll never get you, you can find a better man

He'll never get you, he will never understand

He'll never get you, you can find a better man

He'll never get you, he will never understand

He'll never get you, you can find a better man

He'll never get you, he will never understand

He'll never get you, you can find a better man

He'll never get you, he will never understand

He'll never get you, you can find a better man

He'll never get you, he will never understand

He'll never get you, you can find a better man

He'll never get you, he will never understand

He'll never get you, you can find a better man

This might be the time to break down

This might be the time to break down

This might be the time to break down

This might be the time to break down

This might be the time to break down

Hush child, don't make a sound
