coping (1621)

Know a lotta girls
She's not the same
Waist long hair
Hides the pain
And the way she talks
About beauty and change
I still can't believe
What she was up against

Her mama had her doubts
Her dad was not around
Did every little thing by her lonesome
You should've heard the sound
She'll never turn it down
Always had it loud just to focus

And she moved right out the house
16 but 21
Spirits to her head like she's coping
Never broke (no)
But she's coping (still)

But she left that girl at home
She left that girl some time ago
She left that girl at home
Wish I could tell her
She'll never be alone

When the rain pours down
It's the perfect pain
And there's hope in her eyes
Even skies turn grey (oh)
Lighting something sweet right to her face
But it's been years
That she can't replace

(Like) her mama had her doubts
Her dad was not around
Did every little thing by her lonesome
You should've heard the sound
She'll never turn it down
Always had it loud just to focus

And she moved right out the house
16 but 21
Spirits to her head like she's coping
Never broke (no)
But she's coping (still)

But she left that girl at home
She left that girl some time ago
She left that girl at home
Wish I could tell her
She'll never be alone
