She grew up counting exits Back to the wall in every room Little girl learned fast How to look right through you Tiny hands Heavy secrets Eyes on the door Not the toys on the floor Every promise sounded empty So she just stopped asking for more Cold-hearted child in a grown-up frame Carrying storms she never could name She don't trust hands that say they won't let go Every time she tried to change It broke her even more But she says "God is working in my life" Whispered in the dark when the tears run dry The battle cuts deep like an old Old scar She's letting it go Letting it go Even with a shattered heart She learned how to laugh on cue Smile sharp as broken glass Keeps her distance at the table Always sitting at the edge of the past People call her distant They don't see that terrified kid Still hiding in the hallway From a world that never did what it said Cold-hearted child in a grown-up frame Carrying storms she never could name She don't trust hands that say they won't let go Every time she tried to change It broke her even more But she says "God is working in my life" Whispered in the dark when the tears run dry The battle cuts deep like an old Old scar She's letting it go Letting it go Even with a shattered heart She fell hard Hit that floor (oh) Thought "Maybe I'm just made this way" God keeps knocking at the door Saying "You can lay those weapons down today" She ain't a lost cause She's a long fight Bare feet walking through the fire at night Every step shaking off one chain Every tear washing off old shame Cold-hearted child in a grown-up frame Carrying storms she never could name She don't trust hands that say they won't let go Every time she tried to change It broke her even more But she says "God is working in my life" Whispered in the dark when the tears run dry The battle cuts deep like an old Old scar She's letting it go Letting it go Letting it go with a wounded heart Tired of fighting this on her own She is giving it all to God Giving it all to God
