SHE'S LEAVING

She was just 18 when she left Had a dream of a life that she'd seen on a small bright screen Left her family at home Didn't need them anymore she said Took a little while just to get things going But the days were long and the nights grew dark and lonely Said she felt so lonely So she went to see the man on the moon Said he'd give her the world on a silver spoon And for some time they both believed it But things don't always go as planned When shit went sideways she up and ran to another place To try it again Says of lately, "Please don't save me" "Leave me how I am" No one sees She's up and leaving Here we go again "It has to work this time around" She said to herself as she walked through town Smiling at the brand new faces that passed her by But when the money dried up, she sold her soul To the man with the gold-covered life She knows second chance love only counts for the best of us Fucked up again, she's got no friends, or real ones anyway To come through when it seems more days on the road are creeping up Would there ever be peace Within her mind as she walked all alone again And would it be the same if she was cared for back then? Says of lately, "Please don't save me" "Leave me how I am" No one sees She's up and leaving Here we go again
