I can sit up until the middle of the night,
Hoping and praying that you'll come back.
But again, I realized I'm just wasteing my time.

It gets harder and harder
To see you happy with her,
Knowing that was once me.

Shes got the "screw the world attitude",
Perfect to a tee.
But what no one knows,
Is under that brave front,
She's reaching out for someone to save her from herself.

She prays for just one day,
Where she doesn't have to hide behind a smile.
Where she doesn't have to pretend to be okay.

She just wants a heart to call home,
A heart where giving up has never been heard of.

She's blastin her headphones
Tryin to drown the world out
Hopin one day things will be okay
And prayin to God
He'll give her the strength to hold on
Because if she keeps livin like she is now
She'll give up before she even has time to hold on

It's funny how you give someone everything you have,
And for once you feel like you're on top of the world.
Then with one lie,
You're back where you were,
Building up walls,
And falling to your knees,
Asking God why.

She no longer needs someone to push her down,
And make her feel like shit.
She's doing it herself.

She refuses to look back,
Because she knows it'll just be harder,
To keep moving forward.

She knows holding on,
Will only get her hurt,
Because even though they said they'd never give up,
He finally let go,
While she's still holding on.
