To All the Girls Who Stare Out Windows, But Won't Dare Go Outside

She's a shy girl who could have so much to hope for
But she's got so little hope to have
So she holds on to that little spark of hope
Keeps it inside, shuts the blinds, and remembers the night
A man with evil written over his face
Stole her hope, drained her life, and kept it away from her
Cried her innocence out in tears, bruises, and blood
She'd had enough

Now she's a girl who keeps that little spark left
Folded 'tween her ripped jeans and her best Sunday dress
In a drawer in the corner of her bedroom where she spends her days
Trying to forget

So to all the girls who stare out windows, but won't dare go outside
Who keep hidden in the place where the shadows can't hide
Your tears are hers, your tears are mine
I know the world is so unkind
But in these times, we must remind
Each other that we're near
So to all the girls who stare out windows
I'll be outside waiting here

Now there's broken girls who keep on going
Pretending that the world's improved
They hold on, knowing their career's on the line
Keep it inside, shut the blinds, and remember the time
So stand up for these women and give them a voice
Hear their stories, listen well, and start to make a change
We are here to unite
Be allies and fight
We've had enough!

Now be the girl who takes the little spark left
Start a fire and soon you can set the world aflame
The world must know our stories and hear our names
We can't spend our days trying to forget

So to all the girls who stare out windows, but won't dare go outside
Who keep hidden in the place where the shadows can't hide
Your tears are hers, your tears are mine
I know the world is so unkind
But in these times, we must remind
Each other that we're near
So to all the girls who stare out windows
I'll be outside waiting here

When the flashbacks come at 3 AM and paint your world in blue
And you're left alone in the shadowy corner of your old familiar room
It feels like you've lost to the demons and surrendered to the fear
But in these times, please remember
I'll be outside, outside, outside

So to all the girls who stare out windows, but won't dare go outside
Who keep hidden in the place where the shadows can't hide
Your tears are hers, your tears are mine
I know the world is so unkind
But in these times, we must remind
Each other that we're near
So to all the girls who stare out windows
I'll be outside waiting here

So to all the girls who stare out windows, I'll be outside waiting here
So to all the girls who stare out windows, I'll be outside waiting here
So to all the girls who stare out windows, I'll be outside waiting here
