She?s alone again
Broken shoes and broken heart
All her dreams are torn apart
She?s got nothing left to say
She?s alone again
Left behind and incomplete
All the friends she?ll never meet
She tries to take the pain away
Chorus
And I have to believe that she?s okay now
And I have to believe I have to somehow
And I have to believe with angels she?ll soar
And I have to believe there?s something more
She?s alone again
She had no choice she had to go
No-one heard no?one will know
The secrets that she held in side
She?s alone again
Just another nameless face
In a cold and lonely place
No-one knew how hard she tried
Chorus
Bridge
Ease your mind
I?m doin fine
When no-one cared
You were so kind
And I have to believe (I have to believe)
that she?s doin fine (I?m doin fine)
And I have to believe (I have to believe)
The blame is not mine (you were so kind)
And I have to believe there?s something more
And I have to believe with angels we?ll soar
And I have to believe there?s something more
