she buys a new dress for the party
she always looks good in red
turns around, in front of the miror
and disappears inside of her head

she wonders if he'll even remember
she asked him in a casual way
just in case he didn't want to go with her
in that event, she knew just what she would say

she thought of maybe asking her girlfriends
even though she only has one or two
she's always done much better with boys, anyway
so who needs girlfriends

pacing nervous across the floor of her bedroom
gripping tight the phone in her hand
fighting back the rush of emotions
and dreaming of just having a man

it's a long walk
and the music is loud
she sees an old friend
as she walks through the crowd
puts on her best smile
but underneath she's a broken girl

but its a long walk
and the music is loud
she sees an old friend
as she walks through the crowd
puts on her best smile
but she will always be a broken girl

she's struggles with an awful decision
stay at home or walking alone
her mother does her best to console her
her father doesn't know what to say

puts on her make up, puts on the new dress
holds her head high and gets in the car
tells herself that no one will notice
a__uming she can make it that far

on the way, she imagines reactions
cupped hands whispering into ears
secretly hoping that he'll be there watching
and she's also hoping he won't

walking tenative alone up the driveway
sees some people smoking off to the side
she stops and waits until they go back and
crosses her fingers and follows behind

it's a long walk
and the music is loud
she sees an old friend
as she walks through the crowd
puts on her best smile
but underneath she's a broken girl

it's a long walk
and the music is loud
she sees an old friend
as she walks through the crowd
puts on her best smile
but she will always be a broken girl

he'll never get you
he will never understand
he'll never get you
you can find a better man
(x10)

this might be the time you break down (x5)
hush now, don't make a sound
