Roxanne doesn't think she's pretty enough
|
She sits staring up at the sky
|
Dreams about a life that could be
|
She throws her diary into the sea
|
|
It becomes a very long summer
|
The careless nights of fantasy are over
|
When you see her she's white as a ghost
|
She misses the sun on her face the most
|
|
Young love, kiss him goodbye
|
Young love, don't you cry
|
Young love, it's no lie
|
There is love before the day you die
|
|
She feels her life has fallen apart
|
I tried to tell her the world has a bulletproof heart
|
Sometimes the past is hard to escape
|
When the future is bent out of shape
|
|
|
At the church, she knelt to pray
|
Sweet lord Jesus, give me the strength
|
She cried his name
|
She cried his name
|
|
Roxanne doesn't think she's pretty enough
|
She sits staring up at the sky
|
She wears a cross around her neck
|
Got the words at her fingertips
|
