Harder Than Rain

Verse 1

Locker slammed behind me

Names carved in the door

Every whisper follows me

Down the hallway floor

I raised my hand for help once

Told her everything

She said just let it roll off

Like rain in the spring

Pre-Chorus

But rain keeps falling harder now

And I can't find my ground

Chorus

Nobody hears me crying

At the back of every class

Nobody sees the hiding

Every smile I refuse to pass

I'm fading out so slowly

Like a candle losing flame

And I keep asking why me

Why do they want my name

Verse 2

One of them calls me sister

Pretends to hold my hand

Then turns it into rumors

That no one understands

Tonight I wrote a letter

Addressed to anyone

That maybe someone somewhere

Will read it when I'm gone

Pre-Chorus

But the house feels so empty now

And I can't find my ground

Chorus

Nobody hears me crying

At the back of every class

Nobody sees the hiding

Every smile I refuse to pass

I'm fading out so slowly

Like a candle losing flame

And I keep asking why me

Why do they want my name

Bridge

Then she found me in the hallway

Said princess don't you go

I love you for exactly who

The one they'll never know

She held me while I trembled

Swore the world would change

But even in her soft words

Something felt so strange

Chorus

Nobody hears me crying

At the back of every class

Nobody sees the hiding

Every smile I refuse to pass

I'm fading out so slowly

Like a candle losing flame

And I keep asking why me

Why do they want my name
