1
On the porch, she will sit,
2
Light another cigarette,
3
And take a sip of anything that makes it right.
4
She's outside, trying to hide from the fight just inside,
5
Where her mom and her dad destroy each other
6
And on the phone she will call
7
Every boy, yeah, one and all.
8
They will touch her in all the right places.
9
And in her room, she will slide
10
Down the bed and try to fly,
11
And she will fall once again for the feeling
12
And as he grabs her brown hair,
13
She is faking
14
That the feeling he gives her is real
15
As the floor underneath the bed is
16
Breaking
17
She will finish what she starts with "I love you."
18
So from her head to her toes,
19
Nervous hands and runny nose,
20
All of this just for one night of feeling
21
And in her ears she will hear
22
All the things that hide her fears
23
Of dying young and making plans for the future.
24
And all the marks on her arms
25
Symbolize a fractured heart
26
And all the boys that were smart
27
Left her alone
28
So from the roof, she will fly
29
15 feet down the side
30
Of the house where she once was happy
31
Yes it's true, she's aware
32
That she is breaking
33
And it's true, she can't do anything
34
Well in her blue underwear
35
She is thinking how
36
In Jesus' precious name
37
She got here
38
Well it's sad but it's true
39
She is ending
40
But for now, she will pray for some wings
41
On a black Cadillac she is landing hard
42
Yet her parents' biggest worry is the car
