everything changes
She started out strong knowing right from wrong
Good morals, virtuous heart
Couldn't wait for her life to start
But influences came and turned life around
She started to see new things and hear a buzzing sound
Drugs took over and her life flipped
Liquor became the only thing she sipped
Depression came and she found herself on a street
Not knowing where she was and without food to eat
She was losing so much, she even started to lose her sense of touch
The thought of her daughter alone and young, was like a bitter lemon on her tongue
She tried to pick her life back up, but selfishness had already swallowed her up
So she got worse day by day, forgetting what it was like to bow her head to pray
On a freezing night she lay alone in the street, took over by defeat
Forever she would wonder a loner, and to think she started as a harmless stoner
