She's got a letter in her pocket But she don't know why And Father's picture in her locket Always makes her cry Yet she grows Like a wildflower And she glows Like a moonlit beam Her words they resonate But not for pity's sake They turn her world upside down Yet she remains to stand so tall And smiles through it all Though the truth reads hard It hardens not her hearts She's not the type to sink or drown And with no one to break her fall She smiles through it all She searches deep inside For a reason why They built their life on trust And all that's left is the lies Yet she grows Like a wildflower And she ghosts Through old memories Her words they resonate But not for pity's sake They turn her world upside down Yet she remains to stand so tall And smiles through it all Though the truth reads hard It hardens not her hearts She's not the type to sink or drown And with no one to break her fall She smiles through it all Word by word Every single one absurd Just like a bolt right outta the blue It crushed the only life she knew Did they ever stop to think That this could put her on the brink Of falling deeper down the hole And kill her spirit and her soul They left her mystified They left her terrified And alone
