February Day
(Kevin Browne)
December, 2002
She heads out for the hallway, walking in her solitary way
And she wonders if they’ll notice, as the teardrops silently fall away
She sees the couple by her locker, who are acting out their daily passion play
But she hoped it would be different, she hoped it would be different today
No she can’t hide the feelings far away
On this ordinary February day
Seeing hearts scattered and in disarray
On this ordinary February day
Yeah she thinks about her weakness, she thinks that it will last an eternity
And what will break this pattern, unlock this heart and set it free
Her mind is like a fortress, kept captive by this society
Why can’t she be different and who will hide her from this tyranny?
chorus
And all those years she waited, now she sees it wasn’t all that bad
When she sees all the destruction and relationships that weren’t so ironclad
Yeah they gave up so much more, so much more than they ever had
But things turned out quite different and she feels different today
No you can’t hide the feelings far away
On this ordinary February day
Seeing hearts scattered and in disarray
On this ordinary February day, on this ordinary February day
