Skies Go Black

She looks down to her side, it calls out through her painThis girl will make them famous, they don't even know her nameAnd just how much can one girl standBefore she takes a stepAnd how much weight can one back bareBefore it breaks the strapsThrough the years I've took it off and shrugged it off my chestThose held close, who know her well, can use the shadow fallHe looks down to his side, it calls out through his painThis boy will make them famous, they don't even know his nameThere was a time when his face shined his smile could fight a roomBut now its black beneath this cloud heartbreak learned much too soonAnd just how much can one boy standBefore he takes a stepAnd how much weight can one back bareBefore it breaks the strapsThrough the years I've took it off and shrugged it off my chestThose held close, who know her well, can use the shadow fallBeneath the tree, where I once lay, the flowers gone from the bed where I once playedCounting clouds which danced for meSkies go blackI pray for rain, to clear my faceI pray for wings to fly me from this placeI look to the sky, no answers come to meDear God how far I've fallenHow could this happen to me
