Concrete Angel Lyrics

She walks to school with the lunch she packed

 Nobody knows what she's holdin' back

 Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday

 She hides the bruises with linen and lace

 

 The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask

 It's hard to see the pain behind the mask

 Bearing the burden of a secret storm

 Sometimes she wishes she was never born

 

 Through the wind and the rain

 She stands hard as a stone

 In a world that she can't rise above

 But her dreams give her wings

 And she flies to a place where she's loved

 Concrete angel

 

 Somebody cries in the middle of the night

 The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights

 A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate

 When morning comes it'll be too late

 

 [Repeat Chorus]

 

 A statue stands in a shaded place

 An angel girl with an upturned face

 A name is written on a polished rock

 A broken heart that the world forgot

 

 [Repeat Chorus]
