she thinks no one loves her
because she’s always alone
she stares in the mirror and wonders
what this life is for
she’s too young to die but too scared to change
and too tired to fight anymore
won’t you help me up, hold me up, keep me up
i’m not strong on my own
lonely cries echo her mistakes
and the cravings consume the days
a warm glass of milk and some pills to help
but the nightmare won’t go away
longs for the praise of her father’s grave
and can’t find the words to say
won’t you help me up, hold me up, keep me up
i’m not strong on my own
lonely cries echo her mistakes
and the cravings consume the days
a warm glass of milk and some pills to help
but the nightmare won’t go away
won’t you help me up, hold me up, keep me up
i’m not strong on my own
won’t you help me up, hold me up, keep me up
i’m not strong on my own
