Statistic

I'm lost in the world
I've become another 
STATISTIC
We were together 
Things were supposed to be better
Now your gone
All alone
Look at what happened
My parents always knew
But I tried to prove
That my life would be great
Instead
I just made a mistake
Trying to make sense of it
I can't
I'm just stuck in this
Mixed feelings
Proud mother
Never take that away
STATISTIC
Is all I hear
STATISTIC
Is what I feared
STATISTIC
I am not
STATISTIC 
I can't be
Close my eyes
Hope to snap out of it
But it is not a dream
Wake up!!!
Crying is all I hear
Dealing with it
I rather be known
As a GREAT MOM
NOW
I feel like another 
STATISTIC
