They say you're better off with this
But She'd better off with that
She says she wants to silence it all
For she can no longer stand proud or tall
It's better off this way, after all.
Isn't it?
When she is all alone upstairs
Her tears falling down as she screams into the pillow
She lies down in her bed and screams
Screams at the world
Screams at the ceiling
And wonders why
And how
And how she is still alive
She is breathing with a rapid heartbeat every day
She can feel her isolation coming her way
As everyone breaks away from her
She continues to cry
For she wants a shoulder to lean on
So she can say "I will make it. I won't die"
She no longer wants to be alone, no, not for any day
But maybe it is better off this way.
