She Don't Want The World
3 Doors Down · 3 Doors Down [2008]
she just keeps it boundled up
and never lets it show.
She can't take much more of this
but she can't let it go.
That's ok, she don't want the world
And all the things she says,
he's just lying there
without someone to hear her cry.
She slipps off into a dream
about a place to hide.
That's ok, she don't want the world
This love she feels,
and everything she's ever known
or ever thought was real.
Seems like it's got thrown away
now how's she gonna live
It's ok, she don't want the world
Those words he never spoke
honor like the memories
of all the times before.
She tried to show him love
while he would only ask for more
But it's ok, she don't want the world
Softley in her sleep
pictures of the life she's
longing for slowly appears.
She's seen them all before
but somehow never quite this clear
She just smiles, she don't want the world
This love she feels
and everything she's ever known
or ever thought was real
seems like it's got thrown away
now how's she gonna live
It's ok, she don't want the world
A brand new morning shines
she wakes up alone again
this time to face the day
she swears this time to make it
as she simply walks away
and it's ok, she don't want the world
