She sinks into the shadows and tries to blend in

It's not to hard for her, it's never been

She's always looked past

She's always picked last

She cries herself to sleep at night

Tells herself to fight with all her might

When you looked into her eyes

I saw her chin tremble; she was trying not to tear off her disguise

Tears threaten to spill out

After a century-long drought

She tells herself she'll be okay

She won't let her perseverant spirits sway

So strong in so many ways

But it might not be enough to get her through this tough phase

She walks in the busy hallways with her head down

Her lips twist into a comfortable frown

A familiar face that no one knows

They know her but they don't know her, this they chose

She walks around like a floating ghost

Ignored and invisible to most

Her silent screams are heard by none

And she tells herself she's absolutely done

She's prepared to leave, prepared to say goodbyes

Although she has no one to say farewell to before she dies

But then you came crashing into her life

Right before she brought her heart to the knife

You saved her just in the nick of time

You saved her from falling from the tall climb

Picked her up and made her smile

I know you're the one that will walk her down the aisle

Because you genuinely care

Something so extremely rare
