Miss Lady

I don’t claim to know it all But please let me catch you before you fall The direction you’re headed I’ve seen before This path leads to pain, suffering, and more These are things you won’t soon forget You’ll live a life full of regret Close your mouth and open your ears Listen, as I tell you a story of my greatest fears She was foolishly naïve Always had something up her sleeve No goals and no one to please No desires or dreams to achieve Left school with no diploma nor degree Followed the wrong crowd Did many things not allowed Attitude was dark as a stormy cloud Does any of this make you proud? She was used and abused along the way Struggles with those demons still today This story of my greatest fears Is the path I once chose my dear I shared with you to make it clear This is now your future I see You’re steering the same road as me Lay
