Mama was a bit naive
And her Daddy was a blinded thief
He went and stole away what was left
Of the remains of a family
She'd hide away behind a door she kept locked
But the walls weren't thick enough to block out
Angry noises of the voices
That once soothed her to sleep
And she lies tonight
Underneath a caving roof
And she cries tonight
Wondering what she can do
And she tries tonight
Remembering who she once knew
But they've died inside
Another empty bottle takes a life
This world can be so cruel
She lives her life as a broken tool
And she believes she's unable to fix
This broken machine
And what's the use to throw yourself at love
If in the end it never seems enough
To be able to get through all of life's broken dreams
She watched her father live in regret
Heard her mother cry in an empty bed
And she swears
This is the best life gets, oh
And she lies tonight
Underneath a caving roof
And she cries tonight
Wondering what she could do
And she tries tonight
But she's out of memories
That she once knew
And she dies inside
Another empty bottle takes a life
And every little bit, every little bit
Of her wants to see that light, oh
But every single night
Another little bit of her dies inside
She's trapped in her mind
She feels more alive, she feels more alive
In her own dreams
And she's wondering what's beyond the sky
Could she see the light if she falls asleep?
Oh, 'cause she feels more alive in her own dreams
So tonight, she lies
Lifted up through her own roof
Dried eyes tonight
There's nothing more that she could do
And they cry tonight
A daughter that they hardly knew
And she's lost in time
Another empty bottle takes a life
