She'll Carry On

[Nacht der Tiger]

Behind her shining eyes
Behind her bright smile
Underneath her soft skin
Is everything she hides


Her pain and suffering is deep
Her heartache immense
But still she gets up everyday
To carry on


And whenever she feels alone
Whenever the pain is deep
She takes a pen to paper
And writes is verse


Her poetry and words
Are beautiful yet filled with sorrow
Yet no matter what people say
She carries on everyday


She carries on everyday
To prove people wrong
She carries on everyday
To prove she is strong


The blade is her friend
One that she's tried to ignore
The bottle carries an easy escape
She tries to stay away


But she carries on everyday
To prove people wrong
She carries on everyday
To prove she is strong


And when it comes down to it
All she really needs is love
And when it comes down to it
All she needs is love


She hides behind a mask
To hide what is true
But through her verse and writings
Her soul shines through


She carries on everyday
To prove people wrong
She carries on everyday
To prove she is strong


And yet she cries late at night
Not seeing everything will be alright
As long as she keeps living on
Everything will get better


She'll keep on going everyday
To prove people wrong
She'll get out of bed everyday
She'll keep on living


The thing she doesn't recognize
Is her importance to her family
Not the one of flesh and blood
But the one of poetry


She'll keep going on everyday
She'll keep hiding herself
She'll keep writing her soul in every way
She'll carry on
Because she is strong
