It's not that she doesn't know what she wants
It just seems to be a matter of getting it
It's not that she chose this life to have as her own
Just seems to be the only way to live
The day's so short
And the nights are oh so long
Tossing and turning wondering
Where did it all go wrong
Chorus
Is it lack of love
Is it the pain
Is it life or guilt
Or is it her own shame
How can she live this way
She survives each day
By following all their rules
Tell me how is it that they
Chose her to be their fool
Beating herself up
She barley survives the night
Followed by a slap of reality
From the morning light
Money so easily spent
Yet so hard to get back
The high so great
How did she get on this track
Chorus
Out on the streets each night
Looking for someone to relate
Looking for an easy buzz
To extinguish all her pain
Arms extended out reaching for
The first thing that she finds
She takes it in and slowly begins
To ease her troubled mind
Money so easily spent
Yet so hard to get back
The high so great
How did she get on this track
Chorus
