Stripes

In the shadows

Just a girl who’s only innocence was shun upon

Broken pieces

Was the only thing she’d ever know to mend

Her cries are all internal

But the stripes on her arms they say it all

So she takes all the drugs to forget it all

Now she's lying in the cold



She never, she never

She never had it all

In her heart, all along

it’s a life she’s fighting for

In a quiet place

With nothing but herself to hold

Now she’s sitting there

In a sunlit room



When she wakes up

It’s still a little cold

She stumbles when she walks

But now she can see it

Better wash away the blame

The hour’s up

Look in my eyes, let it pass over



Her cries are all internal

But the stripes on her arms they say it all

So she takes all the drugs to forget it all

Look in my eyes let it pass over



She never, she never

She never had it all

In her heart, all along it’s a life she’s fighting for

In a quiet place

With nothing but herself to hold yeah

Now she’s sitting there

In a sunlit room



She never

She never

Look in my eyes let it pass over

Yeah she never

Yeah she never

Had it all yeah

She never had it all



In the shadows

Just a girl who’s only innocence was shun upon

Now she’s sitting there

In a sunlit room
