You Knew
By: Taylor Donnelly
She's been sitting on the corner smoking another cigarette but whats new whats new
She's been wait-en on her lover like every other girl but who knew, who knew
I think you do
I know its true
She was breathing that smoke that keeps getting her though
She was tired and her feet they knew they knew
Shes been standing there waiting on you
What else is she to do
Shes been standing there waiting for boys to turn to men
And all of them just wanna find a perfect ten
Like a child listening for a truck that will never pull in
Like the young child waiting to find their sin
What else are we to do
They come along to few to few
So she lights up another
Just like her father
So many took her hand
Swearing that they'd be there, to understand
But with each passing by, her hand falls to her side
It's a tiny fire in the dark of night
It's the cruel path to embark on right?
Without someone to hold your hand
To share your fears and to take a stand
She's been sitting on the corner smoking another cigarette but whats new whats new
She's been wait-en on her lover like every other girl but who knew, who knew
It's too cold to stay
So she will turn away
Waiting on the passion of may
