There once was a girl
She laughed and played
But then that girl...
She died one day

Then in her place
Stands a person like me
Who hides in the shadows
So sad you weep

She loved
She laughed
She smiled all day
But now that girl, she hates her face

What's on her mind
She'll never tell
If you ask where she's from
Her response you'll see:

"From heaven to hell is where I shall be"

As the night grows cold
And her smile becomes stone
As the day breaks to dawn
Her soul has gone far

With no one to call
With nothing on her side
She knows she's sad
She sits and cries

For a lost soul to be
Found yet again
She grabbed her paper
She grabbed her pen

She wrote her note
To her mom and dad
"I'm sorry about this
But I've lost my path"

Grabbing a blade
She holds it to her wrist
But wait
Just wait

There's more to this

She drops the blade
She burns the note
To remove these thoughts from her head
She laid down in her bed

"What's left for me?
I've got no one on my side.
Would it really be better
If I laid down and died?"

"No it won't.
You're too young to die.
Don't bottle it up;
Let it out with a sigh.

You can't give up;
Sit back, and go.
If you leave now,
You'll never know

Not what it means to live,
To have friends,
Or to be free.
You don't want to do that
Don't end up like me."

With those words
She smiled, nodded and slept
Her soul's not lost
Not this time. Not yet.
