Pain's just a ghost

hmm, hmm, hmm

She stands just five feet in a towering crowd

Glasses slipping down but her eyes shout loud

Her smile’s a sugar coat but the cracks sneak through

A porcelain heart painted in midnight dew

Life throws its swords but she turns them to gold

Happiness wrapped up in stories untold

Pain’s just a ghost; yeah she gives it a name

But she knows even shadows can dance in the flame

She wants to rewind time like an old cassette

Playback the laughs

The notes they forget

Taking care of the world

Holding each hand

Still carrying skies they don’t understand

hmm, hmm, hmm

In a room full of life she lets the quiet speak

Strength built from the times she felt too weak

Her pockets are full of other people’s dreams

But her own get stashed where nobody sees

Could she find herself in last year’s reflection

A mirror of moments a pristine collection

But she knows the struggle paints her soul bright

It’s the hurt that turns silhouettes into light

She wants to rewind time like an old cassette

Playback the laughs

The notes they forget

Taking care of the world

Holding each hand

Still carrying skies they don’t understand

hmm, hmm, hmm
