She's lost because she's lost her touch
The motivation's gone and she ain't got much
A talented girl who fell apart
With an aching head and a swollen heart
They're healing but the wounds still hurt
The voice in her head is harsh and curt
She left and now it's killing her
But she can't go back to how things were
Some nights she spends lying awake
Others she cries and trembles and shakes
Because her world now lies around her feet
In sharp-edged pieces in her sheets
A shattered world, a fractured soul
She didn't know it would take this toll
She's going strong, with the weakest will
Smiling though her feet are still
She is scarred in more ways than one
There are times when she thinks she's done
But it's not as bad as it could be
Says the gentle voice that can always see
There are some things worth going for
Things that didn't matter as much before
Her heart is set on other things
Though she still longs for a pair of wings
So here she sits and writes away
Going through her empty days
She hopes and knows things will look up
Because she knows that's what life does.
