Give me peace in mind
To prepare for newer days

Give me a little challenge
Not to change,
But strengthen ways

Give me some respect
And I'll return you the favour

Give me a little time
And one day I will no longer
Hate her

But I everything I ask,
as simple as it may be

It will never be handed over
Because nothing is for free

When I have next to nothing
You won't hear me complain

I help others, praying
Others will soon do the same

This world unkind
Yet we write our own destiny

So I keep my strong smile
Because happiness is ahead of me

Why
The only question I have is, why?

Why did you step on me when I was already dying on the ground?

Why did you leave me when I needed you?

No one stuck around

Why did you let me cry more tears then I've already shed?

Strangers loved me longer when you left me for dead.

Why did you break me in half when I was already bent out of shape

You've trapped me in this hurt where there is no escape

Why won't you love me when all I want is a little peace

You've been killing me, mom I've been sleepless for weeks

I'm done asking questions, cos I know I'll end up dead

I don't even need your answers, I just needed to clear my head

Do you even miss me, mom?
Do you remember the way I smile.

You'll be facing an adult soon
Though you left me as a child.

Do you know where I am, mom?
I've no place to call home.

Sleep has lost its rest
And I'm feeling so alone.

Do you still want me, mom?
I'm slowly forgetting your face

It's hard to love you, mom
Though in my heart you keep
Your place

She destroyed herself
Too many thoughts*
She fell apart
Too many little pieces
She fell in love
Too many little feelings
She discovered herself
Too many little stars
She believed
Too many little moments


And
         In
              The
                     End


She was home
Too many little things
That reminded her

of  *
herself

Nothing changes
just the
things that have to

Let's leave this place
There's nothing here

Broken promises
Smashed bottles of beer

You're the only one who loves me
The only one that can...

Your every word so
Comforting as you whisper
Our perfect plan

Where we go...
we don't know
Anywhere will do

Behind I would and will
leave everything
So long as it's me and you
