Verse 1 Just a girl who dreams about a family, Counting all the names she’ll never say. Loves gray cats and rainy afternoons, But hates the bitter taste of coffee anyway. A little sweet, a little salty, Never quite the same from day to day. She’ll laugh until the room starts laughing too, Then hide before the tears can find her face. Pre-Chorus She wears a smile like it’s her favorite color, Even when her world’s falling apart. She learned that if she keeps on joking, No one has to see her heart. Chorus People stop and wonder, “How’s she always doing fine?” They only see the sunshine, Never see the storm behind her eyes. Everybody has their demons, Mine don’t ever sleep. Locked inside a crowded mind, With secrets buried deep. They’re always trying to break free, Whispering my name. So I build another smile, And pretend I’m still the same. Verse 2 They call me strong because I’m standing, But they don’t know how hard I’ve had to fight. Every “I’m okay” I’ve ever spoken Was another lonely lie. I give my love away so freely, Hoping someone stays. But when the room gets quiet, I’m the one who fades away. Some nights I wonder what it’d feel like To finally let my guard come down. To stop pretending I’m unbreakable And let somebody hear the sound. Bridge Maybe one day I’ll stop hiding, Maybe one day I’ll breathe. Maybe someone will love every broken piece of me. Until then I’ll keep hoping, Even through the rain. A girl with quiet dreams, Still dancing through the pain. Final Chorus People stop and wonder, “How’s she always doing fine?” But no one hears the battles That echo through my mind. Everybody has their demons, This one’s mine to tame. I’ll keep chasing little pieces of the light Until I find my way. Just a girl who dreams about a family, Loves gray cats and hates coffee. Sweet and salty all at once— Still believing love will find me.
