I can't remember how I got here,
Down this winding road
It all used to be so perfect
But now I'm all alone

Abandoned by my heroes
Beaten to the ground
My spirits have been crushed
Inner peace cannot be found

Where's that smiling child
That I used to know
So happy in her carelessness
Why'd she have to go

I slit my wrist with anger
I down the pills with fear
No one seems to give a damn about me
So what's the point in staying here

Daddy, why'd you leave me
Why'd you break my heart
Why'd you pull the trigger
Why'd we have to part

The raod is getting rougher now
The hills too hard to climb
My heart is getting weaker
It's too much to bear this time

I guess some people love me
That might be true i think
But the oceans getting deeper
And I'm beggining to sink

I just want this storm inside of me
To calm its angry winds
So that I can be at peace
So that I'll be happy again.
