(Verse 1)
Sunrise paints your window pane, another day begins
I watch you from my bedroom, fueled by a burning rage
You're laughing on the phone, a smile that lights your face
But I know it's not genuine, a mask you can't replace
(Pre-Chorus)
He picks you up at seven, in his beat-up, rusty car
Another night of whispered fights, beneath some distant star
And I just stand here helpless, a silent, seething plea
Wishing you could see what everyone else can see
(Chorus)
You're the girl next door, sunshine in my eyes
But you're caught in the rain, behind those stormy skies
He doesn't deserve you
He's holding you back, a love that's untrue
I'll show you the light, a passion so deep
I'd rip him from your world, chase the dark away
If only you'd notice, the words I long to say
(Verse 2)
We built a fort of blankets, when we were just kids
Shared secrets in the darkness, beneath the moon's soft bids
Now you tell me stories, like a rehearsed, happy dream
But your eyes hold back the truth, of all the price you pay
(Pre-Chorus)
He puts his arm around you, a possessive, tight embrace
I see the flicker in your eyes, a hint of fear I trace
And I just stand here frozen, a silent, burning ache
Wishing you could realize, the love you shouldn't forsake
(Chorus)
You're the girl next door, sunshine in my eyes
But you're caught in the rain, behind those stormy skies
He doesn't deserve you
He's holding you back, a love that's untrue
I'll show you the light, a passion so deep
I'd rip him from your world, chase the dark away
If only you'd notice, the words I long to say
(Bridge)
Maybe I'm a fool, for dreaming of a chance
To tear you from his grasp, and share a loving glance
But I can't stand by and watch you, fade beneath his hold
A story left untold, a love that's growing cold
(Chorus)
You're the girl next door, sunshine in my eyes
But you're caught in the rain, behind those stormy skies
He doesn't deserve you
He's holding you back, a love that's untrue
I'll show you the light, a passion so deep
I'd rip him from your world, chase the dark away
If only you'd notice, the words I long to say
(Outro)
Girl next door, can't you see?
My love is waiting desperately
Set yourself free, come back to me
The girl next door, you're meant to be.
Beexii
