Angie's Scars

She looks in the mirror
Wonders what he sees
Her pale green eyes
Frozen like a dream
Bruises whisper
Hinting at the scars
Hidden deep
In the shadow of a broken heart

Angie’s scars
How can she think they really care?
Shooting stars
Grasping for lost hopes and dreams
Angie’s scars
She’s too afraid to speak

He sees the pain
Wrapped around her neck
She wonders why he cares so much
When they’ve made her such a wreck
She combs her hair
To cover her eyes
They’re black and blue
He knows it isn’t right

Angie’s scars
She can’t find an escape
Shooting stars
Hidden behind dark clouds
Angie’s scars
He can’t stand to see her cry
Shooting stars
Lost in a nightmare
Angie’s scars
He won’t let them hurt her again

He goes to her house
In the middle of the night
He’s ready to take her
He’s ready for a fight
He hears her screaming
He can’t find his feet
He grabs for his phone
But it’s too late, he knows

Angie’s scars
She’ll never cry again
Shooting stars
Gone forever

Angie’s scars
