I know a girl who drinks diet coke

I know a girl who drinks diet coke,

 

With blonde hair, pretty face who socially smokes.

 

Even though the weight of the world is on her shoulders

 

Everyone who knows her, adores her and loves her.

 

It's sad to see her hurt by love, painful even,

 

Just know she was brave when 'we' became 'her' and 'them'.

 

 

 

Don't worry she's destined for greater things,

 

She will belong to the moment and will start living.

 

Her passion will take her to Paris, Milan and even Greenwich,

 

It’s true at eleven past eleven I told her to make a wish.

 

Don't tell me what you wished for, it might not come true,

 

A blessing to know the girl with eyes of deep blue.

 

 

 

You could say she's a diamond in the rough,

 

She looks delicate but believe me she's tough.

 

So, to the girl who drinks diet coke,

 

With blonde hair, pretty face, who socially smokes.

 

Live your life and never put your voice on mute,

 

It’s not the pursuit of happiness but the happiness of the pursuit.
