Precious to God Lyrics

She puts on a smile
Just like the lipstick
That she wears
She gives herself amnesia
To anesthetize the shame
She knows it isn't real
But she can't affort to feel
But there's something her soul can't forget

She can use a smile just like a barrier
She can count the pieces of her heart
She can say her prayers and she
Knows all the right words
But she doesn't know how to feel
Precious to God

She knows it doesn't help
To pretend to be asleep
She knows that there are secrets daddies have
That little girls must keep
But she doesn't know where the children go
When home is where the hurt is

She can use a smile just like a barrier
She can count the pieces of her heart
She'll be anybody
That you want her to be
But she doesn't know how to feel
Precious to God

She can use a smile just like a barrier
She can count the pieces of her heart
She can say her prayers and she
Knows all the right words
But she doesn't know how to feel
Precious to God
