Another Way

She sits there wondering what went wrong,
With the life she used to love

Should she feel the guilt she has
Or should she put it in the past

Do they realize what they’ve done,
To a girl who loved the sun

Now she doesn’t know what to do
And she doesn’t know if she can make it through

Now she sits scared and alone,
Wondering where her life’s gonna go and

She often wonders if it’s worth the wait
To see if the pain’ll go away

Or should she just end it now
And use the gun she found
To end all her misery

Her parents used to be in love
And always had so much fun

But now things have completely changed
And nothings ever gonna be the same

And she’s so scared to know
Which direction her life’ll go

Will it follow in their footsteps,
Or will she break the never-ending chain

She wants to have kids
If she makes it that far

She still wonders if she should end now
And use the gun she found
To end all her misery
Call her crazy
For thinking about it
But how can someone else
Be the judge about her life

Suicide seems right to her
But if only she could see
The life she has yet to live

And if only she could see
That suicide is a permanent solution to her temporary problem

Things will get better
There is always light at the end
No matter how dark the tunnel seems

There is always a way
To take away the misery
Without using
The gun she found.

Now It's Up To You

I don't understand what went wrong between us, 
Or why our friendship is in such a fuss.
I told you I loved you and I do and always will,
And to get you to feel the same way again I would kill.
I know you don't love me and I'm over that now,
But you stabbed me in the back and I just don't see how.
How could you talk about me in that way?
I never expected it on any kind of day.
I thought you were different than all other friends,
And would be there for me in dark, thickened ends.
I guess I was wrong and what they say it true:
People never stay friends after their relationship is through.
I wish they were wrong and it was just a big lie,
Because you still mean the world to me and for you I would die.
Even though you don't love me and you hurt me so bad,
I still care about you and will never forget the love we once had.
I'm not begging for an apology or a reason why,
All I am asking you is for you to stop making me cry.
I want to be good friends with you and close just liked you promised me,
But right now it seems like that isn't even a possibility.
I really thought you were different and not like them at all,
I thought that you were the one that would catch me when I fall.
Wherever life takes us, whichever way our future goes,
I wish you the best of luck with whatever your future holds.
I hope to be in your future because I loved the times we hung out,
I never want to loose you-I know that without a doubt.
Even though you cut me deep, I will always look and smile at you,
Because you taught me many things that I never really knew.
You taught me how to love and you taught me how to trust,
You also taught me how to deal when everything just busts.
Before I met you I was totally lost in a world all of my own,
It felt like I was trapped in a deep, dark, empty hole.
Then there was you who changed my life completely,
And for that I thank you immensely.
I have no regrets and loved every moment spent with you,
I just wish you only knew.
I wish you only knew how I feel right now compared to how things were.
It seems like we are now only acquaintances and "friend" is just a word.
I have shed so many tears-each one a cry for help,
But in the end I have found myself standing by myself.
So I guess I'm saying thank you for the times you were there for me,
And letting you know that I enjoyed every memory.
But now I guess it's fading and there's not much more I can do,
I've tried so hard to change it, but now it's up to you.

Baby You Don'T Know

I don’t feel lonely anymore,
And I’m no longer depressed.

Since you came into my life,
I have no care in the world.

It’s just so perfect.

Baby you don’t know what you are to me.
It’s just too difficult to see.

You’re the one I love for eternity
The reason I wake up (wake up)
And get out of bed
The only one for me

When you’re gone and miles away,
It still seems like you’re next to me.

You’re in the words I speak,
And the air I breathe.

You’re the everything in me.

Baby you don’t know what you are to me.
It’s just too difficult to see.

You’re the one I love for eternity
The reason I wake up (wake up)
And get out of bed
The only one for me

Baby you don’t know what you are to me.
It’s just too difficult to see.

You’re the one I love for eternity
The reason I wake up (wake up)
And get out of bed
The only one for me

The reason I wake up (wake up)
And get out of bed
The only one for me.

Lonely Girl

There she sits alone again
Crying in her bedroom
And no one even knows at all

The days when she comes to school
So sad and depressed,
Everyone wonders why

No one really knows the scared her,
The real her

They think she’s happy,
They think she’s got it all,

But really she’s so scared and alone
And no one even knows
She just wants to cry out

She’s screaming at the top of her      lungs
Hoping someone reaches out
But no one even hears her

All she wants is someone to care,
Someone to love her

Some days she feels like
She just wants to give up,
Like there’s no sense of moving on

But then she thinks of her future
And the people that she loves
And she just keeps pushing on

Even though it feels like it’s not right
All the fights,
About everything…
That went wrong in her life

Really she’s so scared and alone
And no one even knows
She just wants to cry out

She’s screaming at the top of her lungs
Hoping someone reaches out
But no one even hears her

All she wants is someone to care,
Someone to love her

Really she’s so scared and alone
And no one even knows
She just wants to cry out

She’s screaming at the top of her lungs
Hoping someone reaches out
But no one even hears her

All she wants is someone to care,
All she wants is someone to care,
All she wants is someone to care,
Someone to love her.

Daddy's Favorite Treat

Chocolate Covered Cherries are a favorite treat
He loves to nibble and munch on them until his stomach is complete
Even though they have lots of sugar and are not healthy at all
Daddy can’t eat only one; they are just too good to stall
Even when he cannot stall and wants to eat every one
He will always be nice enough to give his family some
Chocolate Covered Cherries are a favorite treat
If Daddy didn’t get them, Christmas wouldn’t be complete
The joy of Christmas is making people feel very merry
With simple things like giving Daddy a Chocolate Covered Cherry

All Alone

There are people around me
But yet I’m alone
There are people around me
Just wanting to know
I’m scared to tell them
Wondering what they’ll think…
Will they believe me?
Or think I’m a fraud?
Will they Comfort me?
Or say I’m just a dumb broad?
It doesn’t matter cuz I’ll never tell
How my life is such a living hell
I may be surrounded by a sea of people,
But yet I’m all alone.

They Don'T See What They'Re Doin'

Mommy and Daddy sitting in their bedroom
Screaming, yelling, arguing

Who knows what they’re even fighting about,
And who really cares?

It seems to happen all the time
And it just hurts for her to see

Mom is trying to tell him how she feels,
But daddy can’t get past the yelling

(Chorus)
Mommy says, “You need to help parent.”
And daddy says, “You’ve got to loosen up.”

Daddy’s to loose and Mommy’s to strict,
They never agree—they always fight

They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’

They don’t see what they’re doin’ to their daughter
They’re completely tearing her up inside

Now they’ve got her questioning love
Wondering if there’s such a thing

She has a boyfriend but she doesn’t really love him
She just needs to feel loved

She seems to feel so alone
Even though she has tons of friends

She doesn’t feel like she’s number one
To anyone

(Chorus)
Mommy says, “You need to help parent.”
And daddy says, “You’ve got to loosen up.”

Daddy’s to loose and Mommy’s to strict,
They never agree—they always fight

They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’

They don’t see what they’re doin’ to their daughter
They’re completely tearing her up inside

She begins to think about suicide
She doesn’t know what else to do

So she sits there clutching the knife
Wondering what she’s gonna do 

Then she shouts out “No, I’m not gonna do this!”
I have friends and family

I may not be anybody’s number one,
But I know they’ll miss me if I’m gone.

(Chorus)
Mommy says, “You need to help parent.”
And daddy says, “You’ve got to loosen up.”

Daddy’s to loose and Mommy’s to strict,
They never agree—they always fight

They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’

They don’t see what they’re doin’ to their daughter

They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’
They don’t see what they’re doin’

They don’t see what they’re doin’ to their daughter
They’re completely tearing her up inside
