She sits there crying

Thinking of all her torn dreams

Thinking of a life that could be

Replaying the past, hoping

just hoping for a clean slate

Hoping to see the light once again

And she's playing the past over in her mind

Why oh why can't my life just be taken tonight?



Her parents fight everyday

She's lost all hope

Can't wait for some self-inflicted pain

Figuring its all she deserves

Cuz what kind of God allows this to happen in my life?

Then she breaks down, soul torn to nothing

She breaks down crying, her pillow soggy

From all the tears that has collected over the years



And she can't think of anything but death

I just wished, I pray to God up in heaven

That she would see your light once again

I try to reach out to her

Because I understand her hurt

I've been there before

I know what it's like

To live a life of constant pain



I know what it's like to have everything

Everyone you love snatched away

Loved ones gone to the sky or ground below

But nothing can change that

I just wished I could show you how to let go



I cry for you each night

and think of what you're doing in life

I just torture myself thinking of how you're doing

I'd lay it all before God just to lift you up

To lay my heart right on the line

Just for you to be able to see the light again

And I know you cry each night

And I know it's a constant fight

But what I would do just to hold you for the night

I would never let you go till you said it was ok

I want you to know what it's like to be held

To know you're loved

And I just can't take this pain

I just want you to experience hope again
