Concrete Angel

She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what shes holding back;

Life is hard is beating me up, mom is dead, Lex hates me I didn't want to leave that island after he died.

Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday,
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace;
oh

I hate being the bossy one but that is who i am.I get these bad looks every day they say I killed him but I didn't.

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask,
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask;

The teacher looks like she is about to cry when she sees me. She knows what really happend on the island.

Bearing the burden of a secret storm,
Sometimes she wishes she was never born;
Through the wind and the rain,
She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved.

At nights I think of the first day I looked at him different. A way I will not forget how he looked.

Concrete Angel
Somebody cries in the middle of the night,
The neighbors hear but they turn out the lights;

I always end up in tears when I think of that one day.

Through the wind and the rain,
She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved.
Concrete Angel
A statue stands in a shaded place,
An angel girl with an upturned face;
Her name is written on a polished rock,
A broken heart that the world forgot.

In the end I see my friends and my family looking down at my grave stone crying. Up I am happy I am with the ones I love my mom and Nathan.

Through the wind and the rain,
She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved.
Concrete Angel.
