She walks to school with the lunch she packed
  Nobody knows what she's holdin' back
  Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
  She hides the bruises with linen and lace
    The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
  It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
  Bearing the burden of a secret storm
  Sometimes she wishes she was never born
    Through the wind and the rain
  She stands hard as a stone
  In a world that she can't rise above
  But her dreams give her wings
  And she flies to a place where she's loved
  Concrete angel
    Somebody cries in the middle of the night
  The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights
  A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
  When morning comes it'll be too late
    [Repeat Chorus]
    A statue stands in a shaded place
  An angel girl with an upturned face
  A name is written on a polished rock
  A broken heart that the world forgot
    [Repeat Chorus]
