Weak Knees

She gets up
And starts another day
Stumbles toward the daily grind
And is on her way past the
Faces that don't even know her name
Just another tragic tale
These hallways shaped

You're getting up to be knocked down

She screams
No one understands her
That there is no prince
To carry her home

The time card's punched
The hours blur
These days at dead end jobs
Lead to nights of slurred words
This lifestyle just takes a toll on her
Every mistake she makes
Drowns out her self worth

You're getting up to be knocked down

She screams
No one understands her
That there is no prince
To carry her home
But my heart is pounding
And my knees are weak
For this broken girl who doesn't notice

Another kiss another crutch
Her fear of loneliness
Will trump true love

You're getting up to be knocked down

She screams
No one understands her
That there is no prince
To carry her home
But my heart is pounding
And my knees are weak
For this broken girl who doesn't notice

When you're down and out
Let me pick you up
I'll be waiting
Just hold out your hand
And when the sun sets
And takes you with it
Just know these nights will end
And they end
Don't be so scared
This boy will
Catch up with you someday

She screams
No one understands her
That there is no prince
To carry her home
But my heart is pounding
And my knees are weak
For this broken girl who doesn't notice
