Roses and Lace

She's got that flower in her hair

And that sparkle in her eye

Her unbreakable smile hides the tears she cries

She's dressed in blue teal lace

Looking like on hell of a sight

But tonight, she don't feel very beautiful

Nah, tonight she can't see she's beautiful

"I feel like the whole world's against me,

they don't want to see me shine.

Throwin' rocks with their words

Cold shoulders feel like knives

Can't they see I'm just out here livin' my life?

Embracing who I am shouldn't be a reason why

You throw me away like I'm some dirty piece of trash

Remember the good days when we were all we had?

Now you dismiss me like I'm just someone you used to know..."

She's not the star of the show

But she's still a person, you see

She knows that she matters

But sometimes it's hard to believe

On her weakest day she's her own worst enemy

But tonight, she's falling harder than usual

Yeah tonight, she's comin' down on her own self-worth

"I'm not looking for approval!

No seeking for attention!

I'm just loving who I am

If you're confused, ask questions!

You may not know me from Atom

Maybe yesterday you did

Snakes and stones used to cut me so deep

But these days that shit feels so cheap..."

And if ever you return she'll be right here

Her heart still true, no longer in fear

Riding out the time of her life

In all her glam and glory

Living her own story

She's got that flower in her hair

And that sparkle in her eye

Her unbreakable smile gleams like the river wide

But tonight, she looks so beautiful

Yeah, tonight she knows she's beautiful

With roses and lace

The sweetest embrace

Stitched forever with grace in roses and lace
