Little Girl

Where have you been?
How far did you fall?
So far away, away from it all.
You're lost, little girl.
Pick yourself up and be on your way.
Everybody wanders now and again.
This is nothing new.
Go on home to where you belong.
Can you find your way back?
Can you find your way home?
You're lost, little girl.
Along this broken path.
With your broken heart to match.
Dreams turn into nightmares.
Hopes turn into fears.
It's a scary place out there, little girl.
You won't find your way back.
So start a new life without them.
If they cared, you wouldn't be missing.
You're strong on your own.
With your tears to keep you company.
Prayers turn into sins.
Deepened frowns turn into grins.
You see, little girl?
This is the freedom you wanted.
You should be happy now.
But even the wind is ashamed
To so much as whisper your name.
Does it hurt, little girl?
To know the price to be paid?
This is the cost of being sane.
But you're crazy, little girl
To go so far away.
