All she said was life’s unfair
as her family shook in fear
Riley left us, just standing there
She disappeared out of the house with tension in the air
even when the family started to tear
all she said was life’s unfair
With no permission and without a care
we heard the car shift into high gear
Riley left us, just standing there
For her the yelling was just blowing off hot air
but the yelling left me scared for over a year
all she said was life’s unfair
My mother just about lost her hair
when my father couldn’t stop grabbing beer
Riley left us, just standing there
She left us with hatred and despair
my eldest sister, Riley, had no more cheer
Riley left us, just standing there
all she said was life’s unfair
