She lays in the sun

Stays waiting for you

She says she feels numb under covers

Where her daughters can play
Desire for a sanctuary for her daughters to thrive.
And they'll never worry
A wish that her daughters will not have concerns about trivial matters.
'Bout the smaller things
Expresses the hope that small issues won't trouble them.
But if they do she will say
If her daughters face problems, she will reassure them.
Baby it's okay
Reassurance to a loved one that everything will be fine.
Tears are for cold days

But if you're feeling blue

Then you're my favorite shade

It's a lot to take in

'Cause who she sees
Her reflection in the mirror is always tearful, symbolizing inner pain.
In the mirror's always crying
The person she sees in the mirror is in constant emotional distress.
But that girl's unknown to them
Others may not know the true struggles she faces.
She wishes to shares
She desires to share her life experiences and stories.
All the stories that led her there
A wish to open up about the journey that brought her to the current state.
But she's afraid that
Fear of bringing shame to those who have loved her.
She will shame all her lovers
Concern about disappointing or hurting her past lovers.
