Oh what a wild ******* night,
Danced until it all felt right,
Let go of our troubles, for just a little while,
To have a bit of fun, to act like a child,

Yeah, we danced, danced until our feet hurt,
And our voices run dry,
Danced until we forgot about that usually pain stained smile,

You know, that mask we always used to wear,
and say everything was fine,
Well baby, tonight, it was real,
For one time in my life,

That pain stained smile wasn't haunting my mind,
We were just dancing, and having a good time,
So again, I say, what a wild ******* night,
Why can't we all act like this, all the time,
That would be the ******* life.

Where,
Please, show me the way out,
I don't see any shining lights,
Ofcourse,
I can't see much right now,
With the tears clouding my eyes,
You told me I have to find it,
I have to look for it on my own time,
And I will,
I'll do it,
Just like I found the ability to make these words rhyme,
I'll find a way out,
A way out of this brutal, heartbreaking life.

Bracelets decorate my arms,
Only because I'd rather you see them, than the scars,
The decorations that tell the story of my past,
Not just a decoration,
But a forever adornment,
They'll never leave me, never let me have any peace,

Why am I openly expressing these feeling now, you ask,
I'm searching for this unreachable thing called forgiveness,
Because the memories will never let me be,
The guilt, it still walks with me, trudging, ever so slowly,
I can't forgive myself for something like this, I hurt you,
Something I promised my self I'd never do,
And I promise myself now,
That never again, will I hurt you by hurting myself,

It's just not worth it you see,
Not worth loosing you,
You're the single best thing that has ever happened to me,
And I'm not throwing all of it away,
For even a little bit of a temporary sensation of mind numbing pain.

Take a look in the mirror,
Is this problem getting any clearer?
You're a shell of a woman,
Completely hollow,

Scars they decorate your arms,
And that bracelet with 3 little charms,
That one your daddy gave you for christmas,
Right before he left us,
He left for the country, wanted to get away from the high life,
Go back to where things were simple,

That bracelet,
Its your only connection to him
And you never take it off,
You say you never will,
And there are parts of me that believe you,

The three little charms,
Ballet slippers, for when you took tap,
Saxophone, for the side of you that loved jazz,
And a heart, to let you know he loved you from the start,
He'll love you until the end, even if you never see him again.

Daddy isn't doing so great,
Lost nearly half his weight,
And as he lay on his death bed,
All he wants to do,
Is see his little girl again,

He takes his last breath, screaming your name,
Now all you want to do is go back in time, and warn him,
Warn him of what is to come, tell him to stay with you until his final day,

And ofcourse, he wouldn't listen,
But atleast you would have been able to try,
Try and save your dads life.
