When she was young
She was living the dream
Worries are gone
Nothing was wrong at all or so it seemed
Reality stung
The whiskey bottle was dry
Daddy would scream
Cause he is diseased and haunted all the time
Big girls don't cry

It goes on til something happens
You gotta go and face it today
When you're gone nothing matters
You gotta stop running away asking "So what do you do?"
You gotta break through
Make it on your own
It goes on but I thought you should know
You're not alone

When he was young
He was living the dream
He has it all
Nothing can stop him now or so it seemed
Reality stung
Lost control of the wheel
It all went so fast can't remember the crash
This all seemed so unreal
Tough guys still try
There's a hand to hold
You're not alone
This pain gets old like
Cracks in stone
Just taking back control
Taking back control

It goes on til something happens
You gotta go and face it today
