She was lost looking for hope
Hoping one day life would be normal in her broken home
Her mind and heart were broken never at peace
She was scared and hurting
Everyday she would play in the depth of the woods her mind finally at ease
No one knew her but the little girl down the street
They believed she was a strange one
No one ever knew what went on in her home
They didn't know what she was running from
She was just the little girl down the street
They didn't know her pain
Hiding from her home in the day
Screaming in the dark of night in her broken home
Hoping one day her house would be whole again
She was just the little girl down the street
They'd never know the pain she endured
Her home would always be broken
Her mind and heart would never be at ease
Scared she'd always be
She was the little girl down the street
The scared one

The Little Girl Down The Street
