[VERSE 1]
|
Mama was a bit naive,
|
And her Daddy was a blinded thief
|
He went and stole away what was left
|
Of the remains of a family
|
She'd hide away behind a door
|
She kept locked
|
But the walls weren't thick enough to
|
Block out, angry noises of the voices
|
That once soothed her to sleep
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
And she lies, tonight
|
Underneath a caving roof
|
And she cries, tonight
|
Wondering what she can do
|
And she tries, tonight
|
Remembering who she once knew
|
But they've died, inside
|
Another empty bottle takes a life
|
|
[VERSE 2]
|
This world can be so cruel
|
She lives her life as a broken tool
|
And she believes she's unable to fix
|
This broken machine, and what's the use
|
To throw yourself at love
|
If in the end it never seems enough
|
To be able to get through all of life's broken dreams
|
She watched her father live in regret
|
Heard her mother cry in an empty bed
|
And she swears
|
This is the best life gets
|
|
[CHORUS 2]
|
And she lies, tonight
|
Underneath a caving roof
|
And she cries, tonight
|
Wondering what she could do
|
And she tries, tonight
|
But she's out of memories
|
That she once knew
|
And she dies, inside
|
Another empty bottle takes a life
|
|
[BRIDGE]
|
And every little bit, every little bit
|
Of her wants to see that light
|
But every single night
|
Another little bit of her dies inside
|
She's trapped in her mind
|
She feels more alive
|
She feels more alive
|
In her own dreams
|
And she's wondering
|
What's beyond the sky
|
Could she see the light
|
If she falls asleep
|
Cause she feels more alive
|
In her own dreams
|
|
[CHORUS 3]
|
So tonight, she lies
|
Lifted up through her own roof
|
Dried eyes, tonight
|
There's nothing more
|
That she could do
|
And they cry, tonight
|
A daughter that they hardly knew
|
And she's lost, in time
|
Another empty bottle takes a life
|
