She Don't Want The World

3 Doors Down · 3 Doors Down [2008]

The open wound she hides,

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
