lyrics

[Verse 1]
Girl got a man and he just doesn't understand
Short days, long nights and he doesn't comprehend
Insecure mind that clutches to the porcelain
Parents got divorced and she doesn't feel important
Pitch black night, can't sleep, can't even eat
Barely making it in school, now she has to cheat
Trying to keep up an image of perfection
Friends backstab her, everyone has deception
Planning for her future but it gets way to stressed
Drinking it all away, still, she's a beautiful mess
Bruises represent abusive but she's making up excuses
Doing everything so she doesn't feel useless
Queen: you deserve the title
But here you are shooting me down with your rifle
Cruel and unusual world
She writes all down. Diary of a young girl.

[Chorus]
Somewhere I went wrong but
I'm trying to a bit strong
Right now I'm down and out
Just trying to belong
I don't know why but I
Just sit down and cry
Wish I could shed all these tears
Get me out of here
Somehow.

[Verse 2]
Living just to die, spending it all to quickly
It's a pity a girl so pretty living in a world so gritty
More make up to cover her face from the hurt
Cuts on her wrists so she's wearing long sleeved shirts
Shades hiding her eyes filled with pain and sorrow
Looking forward ahead knowing there is no tomorrow
Scarf around her neck to block hand prints
Deep inhales of the cigarettes, posing for a candid
Every night crawls into bed and looks at the ceiling
Extremities numb and cold but her heart still has feeling
Tears stream down her cheeks. They leave a path
Picks up her lamp tosses it and it feels her wrath
Breaking down, meltdown, no one around now
Parents out of town, boyfriend creeping around wow
Doesn't know what to do, her head starts to swirl
She writes it all down. Diary of a young girl

[Chorus]
Somewhere I went wrong but
I'm trying to a bit strong
Right now I'm down and out
Just trying to belong
I don't know why but I
Just sit down and cry
Wish I could shed all these tears
Get me out of here
Somehow.

[Verse 3]
Walk into a coffee shop late at night
I tell him keep the change as I slip a five
Glance at the counter and I notice her
5 foot 4 pure beauty and I know she's hurt
Sitting all alone, ran away from home, bag at her side
Frail and delicate, at moments, tears on her face dried
Writing in her notebook, into her own thoughts
I sit right next to her and drink my coffee while it's still hot
She stops sets her pen down and takes a drink
Compelling to exchange words, this is what I think
I talk to her and we converse for hours
4 am and we're still up. This cafe is ours
She gets up and I bid her a long farewell
Whispers in my ear, and something's changed I can tell
Hands me her book, she'll call when she's out and up
Rehab it says in her diary. Young girl, good luck.

[Chorus]
Somewhere I went wrong but
I'm trying to a bit strong
Right now I'm down and out
Just trying to belong
I don't know why but I
Just sit down and cry
Wish I could shed all these tears
Get me out of here
Somehow.
