(Verse 1) Sunrise paints your window pane, another day begins I watch you from my bedroom, fueled by a burning rage You're laughing on the phone, a smile that lights your face But I know it's not genuine, a mask you can't replace (Pre-Chorus) He picks you up at seven, in his beat-up, rusty car Another night of whispered fights, beneath some distant star And I just stand here helpless, a silent, seething plea Wishing you could see what everyone else can see (Chorus) You're the girl next door, sunshine in my eyes But you're caught in the rain, behind those stormy skies He doesn't deserve you He's holding you back, a love that's untrue I'll show you the light, a passion so deep I'd rip him from your world, chase the dark away If only you'd notice, the words I long to say (Verse 2) We built a fort of blankets, when we were just kids Shared secrets in the darkness, beneath the moon's soft bids Now you tell me stories, like a rehearsed, happy dream But your eyes hold back the truth, of all the price you pay (Pre-Chorus) He puts his arm around you, a possessive, tight embrace I see the flicker in your eyes, a hint of fear I trace And I just stand here frozen, a silent, burning ache Wishing you could realize, the love you shouldn't forsake (Chorus) You're the girl next door, sunshine in my eyes But you're caught in the rain, behind those stormy skies He doesn't deserve you He's holding you back, a love that's untrue I'll show you the light, a passion so deep I'd rip him from your world, chase the dark away If only you'd notice, the words I long to say (Bridge) Maybe I'm a fool, for dreaming of a chance To tear you from his grasp, and share a loving glance But I can't stand by and watch you, fade beneath his hold A story left untold, a love that's growing cold (Chorus) You're the girl next door, sunshine in my eyes But you're caught in the rain, behind those stormy skies He doesn't deserve you He's holding you back, a love that's untrue I'll show you the light, a passion so deep I'd rip him from your world, chase the dark away If only you'd notice, the words I long to say (Outro) Girl next door, can't you see? My love is waiting desperately Set yourself free, come back to me The girl next door, you're meant to be.
