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
