VERSE 1:
She says we've been friends a while
And so it's time to tell you
Something about me
My life's been so lonely
I know happy family is
Just a fable that I'll never believe
VERSE 2:
Her father walked and left her family high and dry
When she was only three years old
What could she have done so early on
To push him so far to want to leave
She cries
CHORUS:
Please tell me why
You had to go
We all have our doubts and worries, trust me
But walking away was no one's
Doing but your own
Take some responsibility for your choices
Respect me now please
And quit lying to me
VERSE 3:
I realized that she had carried this around all her life
What a shame
It's become a burden
A regular chip on her shoulder
She needs someone to blame
She cries
CHORUS
What makes him so persistent
In his lies, just take your own blame
And give this girl what she needs
Do the first real unselfish thing
You've ever done
Do it for her, yeah
OUTRO
She wakes up one day
And she had finally realized
That he's out of her life
And there is so much more
To live for, breathe for, die for
And she really starts to thrive
