How can a father stand there and see his child crying?
How can a mother be oblivious to her daughter dying inside?
How can a brother continually defend the harsh way he speaks to her?
How can her friends act like nothing's wrong but bring their own problems to her?

How can they let her rot from her inside, out?
How can they watch her screaming for help, but say nothing?
How can they see her falling apart, and not want to help to pick up the pieces?
How can they let her die?

How can they let her die?
