Story Behind The Song

Written about someone I know. Living in unforgiveness hurts the person wronged over and over agai. Eventually it's a life full of fear, distrust, and reliving the hurt until the life is consumed in the pity.

Song Description

A sad song about a life lived in bitterness and disappointment over lost love.

Lyrics

Verse
She's just a girl, standing in the corner
Killing time, quickly, getting older
Her youth is fading, I see it, in her eyes

She tries to hide, wrinkles with her makeup
So many tears, been years, since that break up
She's just a victim, still listening, to the lies

Verse 2
There was a boy, said he'd never leave her
But in her mind, she thinks he is a cheater
Was just a feeling, but she said, there's no denial

He tried to stay, she said she would not have it
Foolish pride, and jealousy won't let-up
False accusations had led to this vicious cycle

Chorus
She keeps crying empty tears
As she has for thirty years
Lost in her reality
On the edge of insanity

Bridge
Sometimes our thoughts
Lead us astray
Light turns to night
Shadows still the day
Deception takes hold
And it won't let go
Oh oh oh

Verse 3
Cigarettes have left her smile yellow
She traded in, vodka for a merlot
Secret anger, erupts into absurdity

But still the lies, lie, and deeply haunt her
Been twenty years, since she's seen her daughter
A wounded soul, lost in this catastrophe

Chorus X2
She keeps crying empty tears
As she has for thirty years
Lost in her reality
On the edge of insanity

Tag
Fooled by this absurdity
Lost in this catastrophe

End Verse
She's just a girl, standing in the corner
Just killing time, quickly, getting older
Her youth is fading, I see it, in her eyes
