Mama was a bit naive
and her daddy was a blinded thief
he went and stole away what was left of the remains of a family
She'd hide away behind a door she kept locked,
but the walls weren't thick enough
to block out the angry noises of the voices that once soothed her to sleep

and she lies tonight, underneath a caving roof, and she cries tonight,
wondering what she can do, and she tries tonight, remembering who she
once knew, but they've died inside, another empty bottle takes a life

This world can be so cruel
she lives her life as a broken tool and she believes she's unable to fix this a
broken machine.
And whats the use to throw yourself at love, if in the end it never seems
enough to be able to get through all of life's broken dreams.
She watched her father live in regret, heard her mother crying in an empty
bed, and she swears this is the best life gets

oh and she lies tonight, underneath a caving roof, and she cries tonight,
wondering what she can do, and she tries tonight,but she's out of memories
that she once knew, and she dies inside, another empty bottle takes a
life.

and every little bit every little bit of her wants to see the light, oh but every
single night another little bit of her dies inside, she's trapped in her
mind,
she feels more alive she feels more alive, in her own dreams, and she's
wondering what's beyond the sky could she see the light if she falls
asleep. oh cause she feels more alive in her own dreams.

oh and she lies tonight, lifted up through her own roof
dried eyes tonight, theres nothing more that she could do, and they cry
tonight, a daughter that they hardly knew, and shes lost in time, another
empty bottle takes a life
