What Makes A Girl

I never saw a sign
waiting to be told but I was guessing all the time
it’s hard to take the pain
but harder still to understand how you cannot explain
why you don’t feel the same

what makes a girl give up everything she made?
what makes it not worth trying to save?
what makes her crumple and shut out the light of day?
what makes a girl turn away?

we never sealed our fate
trying hard to tell myself it may not be too late
it’s hard to take the doubt
writing empty words and throwing empty bottles out
and wondering about

what makes a girl give up everything she made?
what makes it not worth trying to save?
what makes her crumple and shut out the light of day?
what makes a girl turn away?

what makes a girl give up everything she made?
what makes it not worth trying to save?
what makes her crumple and shut out the light of day?
what makes a girl turn away?

what makes her suddenly so distant and afraid?
what makes her block off all escape?
I can’t move on when I know she’s worth the wait
but what makes a girl turn away?
what makes a girl turn away?
what makes a girl turn away?
