Lyrics:

                                                  
Verse 1
At sixteen they swept away their innocence 
In the whirlwind of a red hot summer romance
And she swore by the stars up above she'd found her only true love
The road got rough the last few months before the baby came 
The taillights in the driveway said that young man wouldn't stay
And by far the hardest part was when he drove off with her heart

Chorus
Now I see her sinking deeper in her loneliness as she cries on the inside over broken promises
Withdraws from this cold cruel world hides out at her mama's house with her little girl
And I can tell for her it hurts like hell ... living in a shell

Verse 2
Friends go to parties and to the prom 
She works after school and every night she's a mom
And she hears the words "you've changed" and watches their friendship slip away
I stop by to see her every once in a while 
I got my chance to listen when she opened up this time
In tears at what the future holds sitting in those second hand clothes

Chorus
Now I see her sinking deeper in her loneliness as she cries on the outside over broken promises
Withdrawn from this cold cruel world hidin' out at her mama's house with her little girl
And I can tell for her it hurts like hell ... living in a shell

Bridge
I asked her if she would let me be more than a friend 
She said she could never ever trust a man again
I knew everything she'd been through and could understand how she feels
And I told her these shoulders were gonna prove her wrong 
I'm steady and I'm ready for whatever comes along
I'm the only man who really can give her all the love she needs
Chorus
She says she likes being with me 
With that little girl in my arms I made her believe
As long as she's with me she won't be ... living in a shell

Tag
Yeah I'll make sure she'll never be ... living in a shell
