she sits in a corner
nobody likes her
for her each day is torture
shes waiting for an end
looking for a way out
tired of lying
tired of crying
taking the beatings
each night repeating
the game of life shes losing
pain inside is hurting
the knife her arm more cutting
watching each cut bleeding
each pill each drug shes downing
high higher shes getting
suddenly shes winning
shes bleeding hurting
out on the roof shes climbing
towards a light shes walking
shes finaly dying
walking through heavens gates
to a place where shes safe
she sat in a corner
nobody liked her
for her each day was torture
i wish id known
wish id helped her
wish id been kinder to her
wish id known her hurt
but i didnt see her hurting
didnt know inside she was dying
her arms were bleeding
or of her fathers beating
or going home alone each evning
didnt know her feelings
the drugs she was abusing
the end for her was coming
the battle she was losing
the fear and tears she was hiding
she was tired of fighting
to be good enough
and feeling she was always failing
so she gave up
shed sat in a corner
nobody had liked her
for her each day had been torture
and i hadnt known
should have helped her
should have been kinder to her
and now shes gone
her funeral casket ariving
few even bothered coming
i stand there tears streaming
i see her parents standing
but neither are crying
are they even hurting
are they as cold as the preacher praying
as there daughter in the box lying
into the ground shes sinking
the preahers words hes saying
a routine not remorsing
with her parents i am standing
but suddenly im falling
on my knees i am screaming
i know now i loved her
but its to late to tell her
to tell her someone cared
shed sat in a corner
nobody liked her
for her each day was torture
and now i know i love her
but its to late to save her
she died not knowing someone cared
i wish she was living
i wish we were hugging and kissing
i wish id saved her from her hurting
but now with god shes living
her eyes upon me watching
and im glad shes nolonger hurting
im glad that she is smiling
prehaps we'll soon be meeting
for soon i pray im leaving
never to be returning
to the heavens i am loking
every day waiting
to be with her
hold her close in my arms
give her my love
her corner is empty
im left wondering if
anyone remembers
the girl who lived in hell
until she went to heaven
