Actions speak Quote by Fireflight
“Look into her eyes You can see she's crying out She hides behind her smile You can see the pain of doubt And if you would hold her close You could feel the brokenness inside You would know she feels alone She feels empty She needs more than a hug on a holiday She needs more than a smile on a Sunday She's not looking for you to fix what's wrong She really wants to know Really wants to know she belongs She needs more than a love song Listen to her now Broken is a beautiful sound She's a little scared She's afraid of falling further down But maybe if you let her know And gave her just a little hope Somehow if she knew the truth She'd come alive She needs more than a hug on a holiday She needs more than a smile on a Sunday She's not looking for you to fix what's wrong She really wants to know Really wants to know she belongs She needs more than a love song In the end We will learn Actions speak louder then our words She needs more than a hug on a holiday She needs more than a smile on a Sunday She's not looking for you to fix what's wrong She really wants to know Really wants to know she belongs She needs more than a love song”
