Don't Walk Away

I was in the news today

A story back on page sixteen

No photographs, no last names

They save that for the beauty queens

I'm a girl you've never met

A half a world away from you

And though I seem so different

I am someone's daughter too

But aren't we the same

I bet I'm just far away and easy to forget

But don't walk away, don't walk away, don't walk away from me

I have a face, I have a name, I have my hopes and dreams

I try and I try to hold on but it's hard to believe

That anyone notices, anyone cares when day after day

They walk away

I'd like to believe that people are good

And they take to heart the things they say

That if they thought they should, they would

They'd come for all the girls like me

'Cause aren't we the same

I bet I'm just far away and easy to forget

But don't walk away, don't walk away, don't walk away from me

I have a face, I have a name, I have my hopes and dreams

I try and I try to hold on but it's hard to believe

That anyone notices, anyone cares when day after day

They walk away

Don't walk away

Don't walk away

Don't walk away

Don't walk away

I'm a girl you've never met

It should be easy to forget me

Don't walk away

Don't walk away

Don't walk away

Don't walk away
