[Verse 1]
She's watched the good ones leave too soon
Stood in black dresses in quiet rooms
Heard "time heals all" a hundred times
Still waiting for it to prove them right
Best friends and husbands, Every heartbreak left a mark
Every goodbye took a little part
Now she's worried about problems before they even start
She says she's fine and changes the subject
Like she's rehearsed it all her life
But you can only carry that much weight
Before it leaks out of your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know she's tired
Yeah, I know she misses her old life
And I know she cries,
Herself to sleep every night
[Chorus]
She lost her way
She lost it all, she might say
I know something's wrong
But I'm holding out hope
That not all is gone
I still see the light
Somewhere behind those tired eyes
And maybe I'm wrong
But I'm holding out hope
That not all is gone
[Verse 2]
Now she jumps when the phone rings late
Like bad news is always on the way
Keeps her heart behind locked doors
'Cause she's seen what happens when it breaks
There's a thousand ghosts inside her head
Some she's buried and some she never did
She's doing just enough to get by
Just enough to hold it all inside
Just enough to not cry
Just enough to survive
The world sees someone getting by
I see someone trying to survive
Still fighting battles nobody knows
Just to make it through the night
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know she's tired
Yeah, I know she misses her old life
And I know she cries,
Herself to sleep every night
[Chorus]
She lost her way
She lost it all, she might say
I know something's wrong
But I'm holding out hope
That not all is gone
I still see the light
Somewhere behind those tired eyes
And maybe I'm wrong
But I'm holding out hope
That not all is gone
[Bridge]
I've seen flowers grow through concrete
I've watched the sun break through the rain
I've seen people come back from the edge
When everybody else had walked away
Maybe it's just a chapter she can't see
And maybe tomorrow starts with her
Believing what I believe
[Final Chorus]
She lost her way
She lost it all, some would say
I know something's wrong
But I'm holding out hope
That not all is gone
I still see the light
Somewhere behind those tired eyes
And maybe I'm wrong
But I'm holding out hope
That not all is gone
No, not all is gone
No, not all is gone
I still see the light
Somewhere behind those tired eyes
