There once was a girl Her name was Lynn In the mornings when she awoke She'd put on her face Along with a fake grin She'd step onto the bus Listen how everyone began to fuss Her eyes began to tear up Though nobody cared Nobody even wanted her there Everytime they said his name Memories filled her head Not a moment passed That she didn't want to be dead She didn't want to remember It's all her fault he's gone She never told him she was there Forgot to say how much she cared The nurse walked in with a frown on her face Said he was gone without a trace When she got home she went to her room She shut off the lights So the room looked just as gloom She grabbed a razor and began to cut At least it was a way out of her rut Long sleeves hid the wounds A month later scars told the truth How she's a freak and her friends now hate her Put her on pills to make her feel better Five therapists cried along with her her parents don't want her They said she's a failure Threw her away onto the streets There she saw a man she'd like to meet He gave her a job as a prostitute She thought maybe she could reboot She felt worse than ever Cried every night The man gave her drugs Said it'd be alright Until one night she couldn't take it Wanted to put her life to an end Thought if she died She could start over again She took a gun and pulled the trigger When she woke up the pain was deep But the guilt was deeper Her parents stood there hand in hand Why were they there? They don't care... Why were they there? How could they dare? |
