Lyrics Story of a Heartbroken Girl - Presence

Wave after wave
Day after day
She tries to be brave
But she feels she can't be saved
Life is a game
And she's enduring its pain
Lately life just ain't been feeling the same

I met a girl
She told me that she felt hopeless
She said she hurting but she felt like ain't nobody notice
Went to the doctor and depression was the diagnosis
She said that her and her family the only ones that know this
So at school
All the students lack consideration
The dudes treat her like a piece of meat
The females hating
So she just go to a corner and be in isolation
And not once has someone stopped to have a conversation
They would rather talk about her when she not around
Talk about how she's an over-emotional clown
Talk about how her friends
Are nowhere to be found
But when she close they be sure to not make a sound
Not once has someone spoke up yet
And said
Maybe we don't know what she going through
Not once has someone spoke up yet
And said
How would you be feeling if that was you?
But that's the world we live in
A world where we don't think about other people's position
A world where we are so focused on ourselves
We consider no one else
We rather would talk than just listen
But just hear me out
And I don't say this to condemn anybody because I struggle with the same things myself
I say I wanna see a change in the world
But what am I really doing to help?
But let me get back to the story
Her parents would keep ignoring her
Every time she would try to open up about her issues
How would you be feeling
If you were tryna be real and
Everytime you tried to open up
People dismissed you?

So she go around lost
Searching every single day
Tryna find real love
Becoming numb to the pain
Guys tell her that they love her and she knows that love is fake
But she longs for the affection
Cuz it's in her mindstate
So she gives them what they want
Everything except her heart
Having sex to find love
Not knowing she's giving parts
Of her heart
To all of these different dudes
And trying to fill a void, not knowing she's being used

I just wish she knew how much she was worth
How much God loved her even before her birth
I see the pain in her eyes and I see the hurt
I just wish she knew her own worth

Wave after wave
Day after day
She tries to be brave
But she feels she can't be saved
Life is a game
And she's enduring its pain
Lately life just ain't been feeling the same
Wave after wave
Day after day
She tries to be brave
But she feels she can't be saved
Life is a game
And she's enduring its pain
Lately life just ain't been feeling the same
