She Don't Want the World

The open wound she hides

She just keeps it bundled up

And never lets it show

She can't take much more of this

But she can't let it go

And that's ok, she don't want the world

All the things she says

While he's just lying there

Without someone to hear her cry

She slips off into a dream

About a place to hide

And that's ok, she don't want the world

This love she feels

Everything she's ever known

Or ever thought was real

Seems like it's been thrown away

Now how's she gonna live

It's ok, she don't want the world

Those words he never spoke

Haunt her life, the memories

Of all the times before

She tried to show him love

While he would only ask for more

But it's ok, she don't want the world

Softly in her sleep

Pictures of the life she's longing

For slowly appear

She's seen them all before

But somehow never quite this clear

She just smiles, she don't want the world

This love she feels

Everything she's ever known

Or ever thought was real

Seems like it's been thrown away

Now how's she gonna live

It's ok, she don't want the world

A brand new morning shines

As she wakes up alone again

This time to face the day

She swears there's time to make it

As she simply walks away

And it's ok, she don't want the world
