I saw her on the street corner all alone.
Hiding in the shadows, to afriad to appear

chorus:
Her eyes were sad
her lips quivered
She looked at me
longing for help

I saw her looking at me as though she longed for me to help.
Help with her life and then she let out a yelp.

chorus

All I did was stare
stare back at the girl on the street corner. Such a small, tiny girl

chorus

Stare back at the girl on the street corner
on the street corner
whom was looking back at me
from the broken mirror

Loving someone doesnt need a reason. If you can explain why you love someone, its not called &quot;love&quot;... Its called &quot;like&quot;.
