Father works the late shift,
mother drinks herself to sleep
brother's outside fiending with

a match and gasoline

They told her lies and gave her

no hope for tomorrow
and all the fairy tales just fade away
the brightest day of all the one that

she's been needing
turns to gray


The boyfriend calls her crazy,
teacher bores us all to sleep
and friends are in the bathroom

speaking just like enemies

Nobody understands her heart

that's left there bleeding
the dirty secret living in her mind
they'll always tell you that you lit the fire

you're feeding left behind

Always there to make you think that

you're no good
there's nothing wrong with what
you've done

they just wanna lift you up and throw
you down
and make you stop when all

you wanna do is run

Nobody understands the shame that

you've been feeling
the dirty secret living in her heart
it must be hard to put the pieces back

together, torn apa
