"When She Cries" lyrics

Little girl terrified
She'd leave her room if only bruises would heal
A home is no place to hide
Her heart is breaking from the pain that she feels

Every day's the same, she fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray
She wonders why
Does anyone ever hear her when she cries?

Today she's turning sixteen
Everyone's singing but she can't seem to smile
They never get past arm's length
How could they act like everything is alright?

Pulling down her long sleeves
To cover up the memories the scars leave
She says, "Maybe making me bleed
Would be the answer that could wash the slate clean."

Every day's the same, she fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray
She wonders why
Does anyone ever hear her when she cries?

This is the dark before the dawn, the storm before the peace
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, 'cause seasons change
God is watching over you
He hears you

Every day's the same, she fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray
She wonders why
Does anyone ever hear her when she cries?

Everyday's the same, she fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray
She'll be just fine, 'cause I know, He hears her when she cries
She'll be just fine, 'cause I know, He hears her when she cries
