She was a girl, so beautiful and sweet.
That wouldn’t hold true for long, a nightmare she would meet.
She only had one fear in this world, and it came true.
She didn’t know how to live without you.
She wanted to be everything you thought she could be.
But, since you died so has she.

She used to smile so bright it could light up a room.
Now, she doesn’t even know how to smile through the gloom.
She lived in a world of bright colors and beautiful dreams.
Now, she lay in her room fearing nightmare screams.
She used to be the girl everyone knew was meant to be great.
But you see there was a different plan laid before her by fate.

The light has left her eyes, and the world has become dim.
She wanted to trust you, to trust in him..
She used to believe God was good, and oh so kind..
See, the devil came along and the real world she shall find.
She was the strong through any storm.
Now, she can barely get words to form.

How did this beautiful, bright girl lose her shimmer and shine?
How did she go from good to barely able to utter “Fine.”
You see, this girl she lost the one thing she had left to love.
She lost you momma, that’s why she fits inside sadness like a glove.
Who is this girl, and who did she lose?
She is me, and I lost my momma and now I’ve got the heartbreak blues.

You see, I used to be just like all of you filled with hope and joy.
Now I sit in my room because it’s easier than faking it, oh boy.
I tried so hard to reclaim my light..
I tried so hard to become like i was once so bright.
I have done all I can to fight the darkness growing inside…
Sometimes, all I can think is… ‘It’d be better if I died.’
