A lonely girl passes by
Has feelings she can't describe
To the ones she loves with all of her heart
Cause they'll aim at her with looks of shame
And without a thought fire away
And leave her abandoned in the dark
Her mother finds her crying in her room
She says stop it child that's not what ladies do
Pull yourself together don't let em see you cry
Remember that rule for the rest of your life
A misguided girl
In an unfamiliar world
Yeah, she's gonna learn the hard way
To hold love in your arms
You gotta open your heart
And learn to say, I'm not okay
A few years down the road
She's smiling at a boy she knows
From her school
She looks over and he's smiling back
She doesn't know how to react
Her friend tells her just act cool
But little does she know
What that boys goin through at home
She doesn't understand
Like her he needs a helping hand
Cause he's a misguided boy
And every friendship he destroys
Cause he pushes them too far away
But to hold love in your arms
You gotta open your heart
And learn to say, It's not okay
I'd fallen too far
And gained too many scars
I'm just another lost cause
But then you showed me yours
And all the wounds you've endured
We're not defined by our flaws
Cause we're all misguided kids
So what's the point of it
If we're trying so hard to run away
Just hold me in your arms
While i hear your beating heart
And dream of the day, Where we'll be okay
