Broken Hallelujah


She walks alone Invisible as a ghost No one notices No one cares Would they care, If they saw her scars? If they knew her story Or her heart? She is nothing Nobody, unimportant No one notices No one cares And they wouldn't care If they saw the burns. Wouldn't if they knew If she was selfish She would really be a ghost. She remains quiet. They will never know her And no one notices They will never care. Her burns grow larger Scars turn blood red again. Everything looks like a noose, So she grows more selfish Her heart hurts so much, but She finally makes the pain Go away. And they finally notice They finally care. Everyone's a liar, They all say they were there. She walks alone Finally free Finally happy. And she sings and sings A broken hallelujah.
