she stares at the ceiling till she closes her eyes
he whispers sweet everythings into her ears
this is the part she’ll tell her friends
when his promises are all that she hears

this dance to the fading out radio station
she imagines the soundtrack of her life
the credits will roll with a walk down the aisle
a husband and a wife

take her, moonlight, ease her pain
the sun will show her scarred again
lead her out of the lies of the guys
who promise the world – but can’t give her a sunrise

i caught her eye this afternoon
i was in a hurry somewhere – i got there too soon
i saw the hurt, rejection and the fear
i was looking into a mirror

i see her now – early into bed
going past her past in her head
i hear the promises she whispers to the night
but there’s no music to make it right
