Darkness lives within our lives
some choose to hide it...

Take me away
To the places I want to be...

You're always on my mind
I think about you all the time...

I thought I knew what to do
I thought I knew how to treat you...

I start to cry
when my mind wonders why...

I'm a courageous person
and I'll tell you what I think...

Emptiness fills my heart
and a tear rolls down my cheek...

I don't know what you expect out of me
I'm not perfect and i never will be...

I just found out today
that now in the ground...

Why can't life ever go
the way we want it to go...

The pain it hurts
it won't subside...

I am
an american girl...
