So broken and bruised
So jaded and used
She stares at the stars, so far from amused
So hungry and slim
So upset and grim
She waded in the water and she can't even swim
So lonely and ostracized
So changed she can't even be recognized
She wishes, again, that things can be compromised
So judged and different
{it's} So hard to put up a stiff front
She's holding her breath, recalling the whispering
So wrong, she can't even belong
{it's} So hard these days to sing your own song
She sinks in the water, she knows it won't take long
{it's} So easy to give in, when it's so hard to win
{it's} So hard to pretend, even harder to stay hidden
She has been alive fifteen years, and not once has she fit in
So much easier to end it, than it is to keep on living
{It's} So hard to stop hearing, when this whole time she'd been listening
She wonders again, how it started in the beginning
So scared and petrified
So hopeless, she had forgotten why she tried
She was told life was easy, too bad they lied
