the stars (demo)

She's just a girl only Twelve years old but she Saw the story about the one who tried it She's feeling down and she's Spinning around 'cause the Rivers can only help so much Tries to disassociate in class Girl I know it's hard, but I promise it'll pass Please don't be the one who's looking at the stars The rock is better even though we have our scars I know they're so pretty But if you can hang on one more day I'll be here waiting if you ask me to stay She's finally eighteen and she's In a daydream only Trapped inside the bars they built for her They say she's stupid or she's Oh so innocent but they never bothered 'cause she doesn't listen I know she's hiding The internal fighting Of whether or not the battle wounds Would even make a difference they ask for her picture and she just sits there, stammered Panicking about what the world will see Turn around and say "Hey" to the camera honey I wish I could, but it't the twenty-first century Please don't be the one who's longing for the stars The rock is better, you'll be chasing red cars I know they're so pretty But if you can hang on one more day I'll be here waiting if you ask me to stay That girl goes on fighting The war of worlds trying To act so happy moving on After her best friend's been gone Don't know how much trouble she get's in Trying to look hot, trying to fit in Pushing up, bubble top Asking God why was she made the way she is Please don't be the one who's looking at the stars The rock is better even though we have our scars I know they're so pretty But if you can hang on one more day I'll be here waiting if you ask me to stay
