Read The Finish Line
He's a boy
With a Dad
Just like everyone else
She's a girl
With a dream
Tryin' to make a life for herself
They talk off and on
Life gets in the way
But they keep tryin' each passin' day
The don't have much in common
They live in different states
One thing that's similar
They can both relate
The've been hurt by someone they loved
They hide their pain
Struggling through their days
Always with a smile on their face
Not everything is as it seems
Just 'cause people look happy
Doesn't mean a single thing
They can be sitting there laughing
But be crying on the inside
Don't judge a book by it's cover
Until you read the finish line
He said I don't like my Dad
He always yells
Called me stupid
Almost hit me one time
I just want him to leave me alone
Deep inside he wants his dad to understand
He wants to hear
I love you comin' from his lips
But till then he keeps on smilin'
She just wants assurance
Everything's gonna be okay
Too much has happened
And she's hangin' on by a thread
She wants someone
To take her by the hand
To tell her
There's gotta be a plan
But till then she keeps on laughin'
Not everything is as it seems
Just 'cause people look happy
Doesn't mean a single thing
They can be stitting there laughing
But be crying on the inside
Don't judge a book by it's cover
Until you read the finish line
