she doesn't want to be   dead in the water, yet she swims out to sea      brave hearted girl   goes out to take on the world   but comes home crying every time   she doesn't sleep at night   she's afraid to close her eyes   I see her walking in the street sometimes      she knows about suffering   and all about sorrow   she's starving for the beautiful things   that people seem to believe in      she doesn't want to be   dead in the water, yet she swims out to sea      how long?   waited way too long   (don't let them fool you)      brave hearted girl   goes out to take on the world   but comes home crying every time   we're walking in the rain   she turns to me to say   I hope tomorrow doesn't feel this way      she's heard about happiness   she's heard about Jesus   she's starving for the beautiful things   that people seem to believe in      she doesn't want to be   dead in the water, yet she swims out to sea
