When She’s Alone

Her mom and dad didn't understand her
She didn't wanna do what they had planned for her to do
She claimed the right to be like the other kids
And do what they did until late at night

See the girl always laughing
When she's alone, she cries
You see her smile, and you feel the pressure of running
Running all the time

She didn't like the boredom of the classroom
All the things they taught her made no sense to her
Why stay inside?
It's so much colder
Made her dream of being far away

See the girl always laughing
When she's alone, she cries
You see her smile, and you feel the pressure of running
Running all the time
All the time

Youth and beauty can't just stop the scene
From being a tragedy
And when you look a little closer, you'll see what I mean
You'll see what I mean

Her mom and dad didn't even know her
Why do they expect to see her one more time?
She's made a point, and everyone has felt it
Why did she have to?
Why did she do it at all?

See the girl always laughing
When she's alone, she cries
You see her smile, and you feel the pressure of
You see her smile, and you feel the pressure of
You see her smile, and you feel the pressure of running
Running all the time
Running all the time
Running all the time
