Lyrics

Father works the late shift, mother drinks herself to sleep Brother's outside fiending with a match and gasoline They told her lies and gave her no hope for tomorrow And all the fairy tales just fade away The brightest day of all the one that she's been needing turns to gray The boyfriend calls her crazy, teacher bores us all to sleep And friends are in the bathroom speaking just like enemies Nobody understands her heart that's left there bleeding The dirty secret living in her mind They'll always tell you that you lit the fire you're feeding left behind Always there to make you think that you're no good There's nothing wrong with what you've done They just wanna lift you up and throw you down And make you stop when all you wanna do is run Nobody understands the shame that you've been feeling The dirty secret living in her heart It must be hard to put the pieces back together, torn apart
