Lyrics

Your Story

Stranger on the street, don’t know who you are
Look down at your feet, avoid the faces of people you
don’t want to meet
Why do you push me aside, why do you act that way
Until you tell me your story, I have no clue what to say

Chorus
Do you ever wonder why you do what you do
Is this really your own life that you’ve been going through

She wonders why she fools around now, and she asks us why
Well, I didn’t know then where she had been before
To be used and abused by her brother, too young to understand
He was wrong but she still denies it, now she can’t face him,
and she can’t trust any man.

Chorus

As I listened to her story, I learned about her past
She was locked in a daze of fury. She longed for peace at last
Her words were full of emotion, her breath was full of shame
My advice got lost on its journey, never made it past her pain.

Chorus
She said, “Is this really my own life I’ve been talking about
Was it really me, no it cannot be, was it really me?”

Every person has a story that may never be told
They may do what they do for a reason
But if you want to know why, look deep in their eye
Are their tears all dry.
From a past full of questions, part of the chain
The way she was treated, she won’t ever be the same

Chorus
