Past Problems, help refused

she cries and whines what isn't right is wrong

she drinks the problems down'till the last drop is gone

she remembers her country so clear though she's so young

roaming the streets'till a best friend ends with a gun

and then when she moved into this town years and years ahead

she could never forget the blood her friend had shed

and so she found the bottles her mom had hid and played the game her daddy played no one knew, though she was just a kid

fell for a boy who needed to fix the world so he tried to fix the problems she drowned in, a river  which flows too fast

but no matter how hard he tried she cried and cried

when he wanted to fix her she only denied

he grew impatient, wanted to leave"please just stay!" her eyes would plead

and he refused, her emotional insanity had driven him wild the only help she recieved, she ruined

threatened to end her life, if he left too

ignited the flame with sadness in her heart

she turns to the bottles, weakness rewinds to the start
