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
