1-Who does the singer blame for the

problems between her mother and father?
What solutions does she offer? What
particularly upsets her?
2-What does the singer think will improve
the marriage? How does she try to
intervene? How does she feel?
3-What is the current situation within the
marriage?

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

"Concrete Angel"
She walks to school with the
lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holdin'
back

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

Wearin' the same dress she wore

yesterday
She hides the bruises with linen
and lace

A statue stands in a shaded place

An angel girl with an upturned
face

The teacher wonders but she

doesn't ask

A name is written on a polished

rock

It's hard to see the pain behind

the mask

A broken heart that the world

forgot

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

"What Hurts The Most"

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That dont bother me
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
Im not afraid to cry every once in a while
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend Im ok
But thats not what gets me
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What hurts the most
Was being so close
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------And having so much to say
And watching you walk away

And never knowing

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Its hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But Im doing It
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Its hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and Im alone
Still Harder
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Getting up, getting dressed, livin with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What hurts the most
Is being so close

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------And having so much to say

And watching you walk away
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------And never knowing
What could have been
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Not seeing that loving you
Thats what I was trying to do
