Lyrics Courtney Parker – Stolen Innocence

I find it funny how a smile can hide a broken heart
And how the masking of your feelings is a secret art
Would you have seen it coming? I know she hides it well
The whole world is really under this girl’s tragic spell

Thinking nothing of the glare in her big brown eyes
Little do they know, they’re a great disguise
She wakes up, watches the sun rise
Starts reeling off the bucket loads of sad lies

«Are you alright?»
«Yes,» she replies

No one can hear the scream of her internal cries
She thinks there’s no hope and no faith left to give
Feels no reason and no purpose for her soul to live

How could you take this girl, and make her feel secure?
Then go grab your mates, and make her feel impure?
‘Cause now she’s damaged forever and her thoughts are stained
With every memory you gave her you should be ashamed

Did you like it when you heard her screaming out in pain?
I bet the thought of it, is driving her insane
One of the worst crimes that you could commit
And for what? Just for your own selfish benefit
And now she’s thinking, «do I even deserve to live?»
‘Cause what you did there is no way she could forgive
She was so innocent, until that event
You made an indent, on her present

Now she’s forced to travel down her life on this path
Guess you really didn’t think of the aftermath
Was it intentional?
Are you delusional?
Did you understand what you were doing at all?

Sometimes the outside, it don’t mean a thing
‘Cause this girl she’s beautiful when you start digging in
And I’ll admit that, there’s nothing left to say
But I promise that everything will be okay
And just remember that I’m here for you whenever
It’s gonna be that way with us forever
‘Cause you know that I’m never really very far
And when you hear this song, you’ll know who you are

So I hope you cherish the words that I wrote for you
And I admire you for everything you’ve been through
You are stronger than you’d ever know I promise you
Just think back at all those awful things, you know it’s true
You’re still standing here, healthy and alive
And if you truly believe I know that you’ll survive
