Lyrics
She heard the tone of voice, before she heard what was said; angry voices raised after she had gone to bed. Late in the evening, wafting through the walls, the tiny sound of a little girls sobs; lying in the darkness, tears in her eyes, wondering why mom and daddy had to fight. [Chorus]That's where she learned all the might have beens, where hurting starts and promises end; that's where she learned all the try agains. Hurt runs deep when she was supposed to be asleep. There she cried, and there she prayed, and there she dreamed of happier days. Flannel pajamas and her favorite bear, that she would hug whenever she was scared. [Chorus] Nobody knows how many fights, nobody knows how many nights! Late in the midnight, wafting through the walls, the tiny sound of a little girl's sobs. Wide awake, tears in her eyes, her favorite bear and she's holdin' him tight. [Chorus]
