Falling

Vernon
Her mom is unhappy,
Her father is drunk,
Her sister’s again
In the nearest park
Selling her body
For beer and fun,
Her own last boyfriend
Wasn’t the one.
Her days are so empty,
Her nights are so cold,
She’s tired of being
Both quiet and bold,
She’s tired of losing,
She tried to rebel,
But nobody noticed
And ever could tell.

Ask her again why she doesn’t believe in love
Ask her again why she doesn’t believe in love.
All you’d get is an empty stare
She doesn’t care, she just doesn’t care.
Again and again, again and again
She’s falling, she’s falling,
Nobody will catch,
Again and again and again.

She prayed to somebody
But nobody heard
Her hopes, her fears,
She can’t find a word
To talk to her mother
That she’s not okay,
She’s tired of leaving
But still couldn’t stay.
Her friends don’t care,
She doesn’t as well.
Her life is a circle
With entry to hell.
She’s sick of pretending
But used to pretend,
She cannot find courage
To make it all end.

Again and again, again and again
She’s falling, she’s falling
Nobody will catch
Again and again and again

She’s losing her patience,
She’s losing her mind,
She used to be sorry
For not being kind,
But now she is hollow
And empty inside,
She’s almost forgotten
When last time she cried
She’s almost forgotten
That grass could be green.
She’s falling, she’s falling,
She’s only eighteen.

Ask her again why she doesn’t believe in love
Ask her again why she doesn’t believe in love.
All you’d get is an empty stare,
She doesn’t care, she just doesn’t care.
Again and again, again and again
She’s falling, she’s falling,
Nobody will catch
Again and again and again.
