Filled with turmoil and a hurting fear
Winding down a path of life death and pain
Screaming out words people don't want to hear
Now hiding from them in the pouring rain
Wishing all those thoughts would just leave her head
She is running now and trying to hide
Often wishing she could just leave and be dead
She wishes for times when they had not lied
Scared of what will be in her tomorrows
Keeping her secret burning in her chest
Always filled with unspeakable sorrows
Wishing she could lie down and rest
She is stuck with an unbearable choice
Will anyone somehow hear her small voice
Winding down a path of life death and pain

Often wishing she could just leave and be dead
She wishes for times when they had not lied
Scared of what will be in her tomorrows
Keeping her secret burning in her chest
Always filled with unspeakable sorrows
Wishing she could lie down and rest
She is stuck with an unbearable choice
Will anyone somehow hear her small voice
