Paper Cuts and Whispers

Verse 1

Mornings come too early and the hallway knows my name

Whispers cut like paper and they know just where to aim

I pull my hoodie tighter like a shield against the cold

Another day of laughing at the stories that they told

Pre-Chorus

They don't see the girl who cries alone at night

They don't see the fire they keep trying to fight

Chorus

Sad girl walking through the storm

Tears fall down but I stay warm

Sad girl with a broken heart

I'm still standing from the start

Nobody knows the tears I hide

But I won't let them break my stride

Verse 2

Lunchroom full of bodies but I'm eating all alone

Every single table seems to have a colder tone

They pass around my yearbook writing things I'll never read

But I keep my head up high and plant another seed

Pre-Chorus

They don't know the strength it takes to breathe

They don't know the ghost they'll never see

Chorus

Sad girl walking through the storm

Tears fall down but I stay warm

Sad girl with a broken heart

I'm still standing from the start

Nobody knows the tears I hide

But I won't let them break my stride

Bridge

One day they'll see the light in me

One day they'll hear my melody

Every bruise that they ever dealt

Is a lesson on how I grew myself

Chorus

Sad girl walking through the storm

Tears fall down but I stay warm

Sad girl with a broken heart

I'm still standing from the start

Nobody knows the tears I hide

But I won't let them break my stride
