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 apart |
