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
