She smokes, only thirteen, 
Looks like a whore on Halloween, 
Her dad was never really home, 
Left her to face the night alone. 

Wandering the streets, so cold, 
Chasing dreams that life has sold. 
Eyes too young to look so old, 
A little girl with a heart of stone.

She hides behind a painted face, 
Running from a past she can't erase. 
Whispers in the night, telling her lies, 
As she fights to survive under darkened skies. 

Her world spins out of control, 
A lonely path taking its toll. 
Wishing for a place to call her own, 
But feeling like she'll always be alone.

Only thirteen, lost in the night, 
Caught in the darkness, no end in sight. 
Walking through the shadows, searching for a spark, 
But all she finds is a lonely heart. 
Only thirteen, a soul in flight, 
Drifting in darkness, away from the light.

She dreams of a day, she can break away, 
From the chains that hold her down, 
But every time she tries to rise, 
The weight just makes her drown.

Her innocence, a fading memory, 
In a world so harsh and mean, 
Just a young girl, trying to be seen, 
But lost in the cracks of broken dreams.

Only thirteen, lost in the night, 
Caught in the darkness, no end in sight. 
Walking through shadows, searching for a spark, 
But all she finds is a lonely heart. 
Only thirteen, a soul in flight, 
Drifting in darkness, away from the light.

She smokes, only thirteen, 
Looks like a whore on Halloween, 
Her dad was never really home, 
And she’s left to face the night alone.
