I try to walk away and she comes runnin'.
I try to get in close, she runs away.
She'll do anything you want if you are leavin'.
That is, anything you want until you stay.

I found the combination to her little safe once,
but everything inside it turned to dust.
She says its only for the best to never read it,
I think she thinks its for the best to never trust.

She looks so good from afar,
but she's so far from good.
It takes a whole lot of shit to make her cry.
I tried to get inside, I don't think that you could.
She looks good from afar,
but she's so far from good.

Someone in her past had done some damage.
Someone beat up on a little girl.
I don't know who or when it happened,
but I see the price for being pretty in this world.
It takes a whole lot of strength to hold that shield up
and every now and then I catch a peek.
I guess she's saving up for someone that'll hurt her.
I guess I sometimes wish that someone could be me
