[V.1]You pass by her every day

Never noticing the head that's bowed

Never seeing the tears that mar her face

Never noticing the cuts that scar her flesh

You see nothing

You hear nothing

You know nothing

So nothing you say.



[Chor.]You pass by this shadow

This bleeding crying shadow

Of a girl lost in pain

Living in vain--so lost in her pain.



[V.2.]Do you see the shadow

The bleeding crying shadow

Crying herself to eternal sleep?

Do you see she's not alone?

Memories that plague

Her tormented mind

Stay too close for comfort

At her side.



[Chor. X2.]



[Bridge]Do you care about who she is?

Does she have a face?

Do her tears make you smile?

Does her pain make you laugh?



[Chorus]



[Chor. 2]You pass by my shadow

My bleeding crying shadow

I'm the girl lost in pain

Living in vain so lost in my pain!

[End x3]You pass by her shadow

Her bleeding crying shadow...
