She knows the voices in her mind They tell her To leave She's tired of smiling madly Until silence becomes very silently A noise in her mind After all she has nothing inside No good to give No meaning to live The mist engulfed tonight Every single star After all they shared How could he simply say no After all they shared He turned away from her to go She said she wouldn't cry That was really just a lie She knows the noises in her mind Nothing's left but Screaming silence After all she feels numbness inside The feeling's gone She's upside down The pictures behind her closed eyes This time you went too far After all they shared How could he simply say no After all they shared He turned away from her to go She said she wouldn't cry That was really just a lie After all they shared How could he simply say no After all they shared He turned away from her to go She said she wouldn't cry That was really just a lie After all she has nothing inside No good to give No meaning to live The mist engulfed tonight Every single star After all they shared How could he simply say no After all they shared He turned away from her to go She said she wouldn't cry That was really just a lie After all they shared How could he simply say no (simply say no) After all they shared He turned away from her to go She said she wouldn't cry That was really just a lie After all they shared How could he simply say no (simply say no) After all they shared He turned away from her to go She said she wouldn't cry That was really just a lie After all they shared How could he simply say no (how could he simply say no) After all they shared (after all) He turned away from her to go (he just turned away) She said she wouldn't cry That was really just a lie
