(T. Sly/C. Shiflett/M. Riddle/R. Koff)
Father works the late shift, mother drinksherself to sleepbrother's outside fiending with a matchand gasoline
They told her lies and gave her no hopefor tomorrowand all the fairy tales just fade awaythe brightest day of all, the one thatshe's been needingturns to gray
The boyfriend calls her crazy, teacherbores us all to sleepand friends are in the bathroomspeaking just like enemies
Nobody understands the shame thatyou've been feelingthe dirty secret living in her heartit must be hard to put the pieces backtogether, torn apart
Always there to make you think thatyou're no goodthere's nothing wrong with whatyou've donethey just wanna lift you up and throwyou downand make you stop when all youwanna do is run
Nobody understands her heart that's leftthere bleedingthe dirty secret living in her mindthey'll always tell you that you lit the fireyou're feeding, left behind
