City lights that drown the night
Puts our minds in a euphoric state...

Her 17th birthday had just passed,
And she had a choice to make...

Curtains are closed, her mind is shut,
She picks up a blade and starts to cut...

People change their dreams
They change their lives...

My false hopes have become
Brittle like my fingers...

From the moment I met you
I said \"what\'s up with this kid?\&quot...

Daddy can you hold my hand?
Cause I was real scared today...

They walked out the doors
He held his sons' hand tight...

He bent down and kissed her lips
As a drop fell from his eye...

Hi, how are you doing today?
We haven\'t talked in so long...

I believe it myself, I am losing my mind. The days...

Remember when we tried to compromise?
I slept in the hospital that night...
