Who is this girl?
She's driving in the rain
And she's listening to the songs
That she knows will bring her pain
Reflecting on her life
Contemplating every move
She apologizes for all her wrongs
Even though she's got nothing to prove
She isn't allowed to be faltered
She puts others before her
She has to perfect even though she's the weakest
She said
"Do you think I could speak?
Do you think I could breathe?
Lay your head on my chest
Can you hear my heart beating?"
If you'd only look closer
You'll see that there's someone she's trying to hide
If you'd only look sooner
You'll see that she's suffering inside
She's trapped between the person she is
And the person she's supposed to be
She fakes her smiles and she fakes them so she believes them
She does what people tell her to
'Cause she can't make her decisions
She said
"Do you think I could speak?
Do you think I could breathe?
Lay your head on my chest
Can you hear my heart beating?"
If you'd only look closer
You'll see that there's someone she's trying to hide
If you'd only look sooner
You'll see that she's suffering inside
She's looking forward to holidays
Because they're the only days that still have meaning
She said
"Someone turn off the music
Can you hear me screaming?"
She said
"Do you think I could speak?
Do you think I could breathe?
Lay your head on my chest
Can you hear my heart beating?"
If you'd only look closer
You'll see that there's someone she's trying to hide
If you'd only look sooner
You'll see that she's suffering inside
