She Will Always be a Broken Girl
She buys a new dress for the partyShe always looks good in redTurns around in front of the mirrorAnd disappears inside of her head
She wonders if he'll even rememberShe asked him in a casual wayJust in case he didn't want to go with herIn that event, she knew just what she would say
She thought of maybe asking a girlfriendEven though she only has one or twoShe's always done much better with boys anywaySo who needs girlfriends?
Pacing nervous across the floor of her bedroomGripping tight the phone in her handFighting back the rush of emotionsAnd dreaming of just having a man
It's a long walk and the music is loudShe sees an old friend as she walks through the crowdPuts on her best smileBut underneath it, she's a broken girl
But it's a long walk and the music is loudShe see an old friend as she walks through the crowdPuts on her best smileBut she will always be a broken girl
She struggles with an awful decisionStay at home or walk in aloneHer mother does her best to console herHer father doesn't know what to say
Puts on her makeup, puts on the new dressHolds her head high, then gets in the carTells herself that no one will noticeAssuming she can make it that far
On the way, she imagines reactionsCupped hands whispering into earsSecretly hoping that he'll be there watchingAnd she's also hoping he won't
Walking tentative alone up the drivewaySee some people smoking off to the sideShe stops and waits until they go back inCrosses her fingers and follows behind
It's a long walk and the music is loudShe sees an old friend as she walks through the crowdPuts on her best smileBut underneath it, she's a broken girl
It's a long walk and the music is loudShe see an old friend as she walks through the crowdPuts on her best smileBut she will always be a broken girl
