Eighteen Eighteen, and the dreams she had just a year ago slipped into her memory Never cared for much except for living to see the next day Every plan she'd make, every promise she'd break stared her in the face at night before she went to bed And all she wanted was what wasn't supposed to be In this life, she's trying to hold on Lived too fast and loved for too long In this life, she's trying to hold on But she's falling farther every day And all her friends said she'd be okay for just a little bit longer But they didn't know that it was eating her alive inside If she stayed too long the end would greet her just a little bit too soon And all the ways she was...it wasn't supposed to be In this life, she's trying to hold on Lived too fast and loved for too long In this life, she's trying to hold on But she's falling farther every day I walked in her room, not knowing what I'd find, and I saw her lying there A few pills in her mouth, a bottle in her hand, and wide open eyes that can't see A lot of things must have been going on, and I wish that I had known There are so many questions that I just can't ask, so I only want to know why Why did she...? Why did she...? Why did she...? Why did she...? Why did she go? In this life, she's trying to hold on Lived too fast and loved for too long In this life, she's trying to hold on But she's falling farther every day ~back to lyrics~ ~home~ |
