Veil of tears
Drive She Said Lyrics

She rides her gypsy throne
She confidently leads her life as a free-spirited traveler.

Begs for a thrill unknown
She craves adventure and new experiences that she hasn't yet encountered.

Sun is blindin', sky is clear
Her surroundings are stark and intense, with nothing to obscure them.

Still she hides in her veil of tears
Despite her boldness, she keeps her sadness and pain hidden from others.

And when she hides her eyes
When she withdraws and becomes less engaged with the world...

Ooh, she sees paradise
...she finds a mental escape to a perfect and idealized place.

Only she can break the spell, yeah, yeah
Only she has the power to overcome her negative feelings and improve her reality.

Her heart is bleedin' still
She continues to feel heartbreak long after the events that caused it.

From every broken schoolgirl's dream
She is haunted by the shattered expectations of youth that never came true.

Sees the world through dark eyes
The lens through which she views the world is pessimistic and bleak.

Can't hear the laughter from the screams, oh
In the midst of dark and terrible things, she can't find any joy, only more pain.

Oh, she can stop the rain
Despite her difficulties, she has the power to stop her own suffering.

Ooh, the anger and the shame
She has to effectively deal with the anger and shame inside her to heal.

Gotta wanna make a change
She has to be motivated and willing to actively make a difference in her own life.

I see your veils of tears fallin' like rain
The person singing is directly addressing her and sympathizing with her tears.

You can't hide
No matter how much she tries to conceal her feelings, they are still visible to others.

Tears are fallin' like rain
She is crying uncontrollably.

Your veil of tears
The pain and sadness that she hides from others.
