She walks in
thrown without a script
onto a stage
all eyes on her
then they snickering turn
away
CHORUS
Darling hide your eyes
don't you let them see you cry
just hold your head up high
don't you let them see you cry
VERSE 2
Cruel taunts
condescending thoughts
all around
the spotlight glares
she can feel their stares
and hunkers down
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Rumors and lies
they don't know her besides
these at all
she says she doesn't care
pretends she's barely aware
as their judgement falls
BRIDGE
But on her knees I hear her pray
for the strength to brave another day
weary hands turn out the lights
welcome relief only found in the night
CHORUS
-Portia 2005
