Now She's Gone

Well her mother was downing some bottle Her old man was counting his bread And she tried to escape an adult scene Found wishing that she was dead Well her parents got so hard to live with She finally moved out in the street And her friends have grown very weary 'Cause her only friends are her feet Well her father still counting his money And her mother still cries in the bar But now she's gone Through the alleys of her mind she had traveled She discovered a life she must find And lost her way Spending many lonely hours Searching for a truth that wasn't there Love and understanding never found her Couldn't find a person who would care Now her world is falling down around her She has reached a point of no return No one seemed to care enough of helping No one cried a tear or spoke a word Now she's gone Now she's gone Now she's gone (she has gone away) Now she's gone (she has gone away) Well you think that somebody would notice When a lifetime is wasting away Well you better stop and think about it 'Cause you might be the next one You might be the next one You might be the next one
