How did I end up here?
I used to be such a happy child,
but the older I got,
the more pain there seemed to be in the world.

How did I end up here?
Sweet sixteen they say
My foot I say!
The year I turned sixteen
my world fell apart at the seams.

How did I end up here?
Depression and a endless desire to die,
broken hearts, broken dreams,
lost friends, lost relationships,
finding myself all alone
in a very cruel world.

How did I end up here?
Holding on to anything,
fighting for my very life.
Looking for anything
that means I'm not alone.

How did I end up here?
Eating disorders, wild mood swings,
the lows get lower
and the highs get farther between,
Oh, the joys of being a teen.

How did I end up here?
Is there anyone out there
who can save me from myself?
Is there anyone out there
who can love me
and teach me to love myself?

How did I end up here?
I'm just a lost teen
fighting for life
and trying to find her place
in a cruel world where no one sees
the pain of a lost soul
and no one can seem to hear
my desperate screams for help.
