Hey girl, you remind me of Mariah A fire in your eyes that burns through the quiet She lived her life in silent fear Afraid of things that never appeared When summer came, she would rise from bed To watch the sunrise paint her skin in red Her lover wasn't hers alone He wandered streets, left her unknown But she smiled through the pain Built her world in the pouring rain She was trapped in her own cage But you, girl, can turn the page Centuries have passed, and she longed to breathe For 95 years, she believed she was beneath Almost threw her life away for a man who jumped fences But girl, you can rise above these trenches Hey girl, life isn't fair, but that's the game Don't throw yourself to the water, it won't quench the flames Hey girl, you remind me of Mariah But you're stronger, don't let them tire ya Mariah loved with all her might But in the end, she lost the fight Her life wasn't the fairy tale she dreamed Her heart unraveled at every seam She watched the years steal her away But girl, you don't have to fade in the same way She lived her life in quiet cries You can see it in your own eyes But you don't have to live like this You're more than a girl they dismiss Centuries have passed, and she longed to breathe For 95 years, she believed she was beneath Almost threw her life away for a man who jumped fences But girl, you can rise above these trenches Hey girl, life isn't fair, but that's the game Don't throw yourself to the water, it won't quench the flames Hey girl, you remind me of Mariah But you're stronger, don't let them tire ya Hey girl, life isn't fair, but that's the game Don't throw yourself to the water, it won't quench the flames Hey girl, you remind me of Mariah But you're stronger, don't let them tire ya She was standing on the edge, with her heart in her hands Whispering prayers, hoping someone understands But the wind took her voice, carried it away And she was left in silence, no words to say She thought the end would come with peace But all it brought was a deeper release And girl, I see you there, standing still At the edge of the bridge, against your will Don't jump, don't fall, don't give in to the pain There's light beyond this heavy rain Mariah never found her way out But you, girl, you can turn it all around You're enough, even when you feel small You're worth the fight, you can stand tall Centuries have passed, and she longed to breathe For 95 years, she believed she was beneath Almost threw her life away for a man who jumped fences But girl, you can rise above these trenches Hey girl, life isn't fair, but that's the game Don't throw yourself to the water, it won't quench the flames Hey girl, you remind me of Mariah But you're stronger, don't let them tire ya Hey girl, you remind me of Mariah But you're not her, no, you're stronger
