She turns out the light
Her own book in hand
Crying in the dark
This wasn't how she planned
They all got what they wanted
And she most certainly did too
Scars on her arms
Bank account with money, well to do
New orleans, her favorite city
A place she would never see
Instead a run down hotel
More then she could ever be
Within and instant they gave her dreams
Words of life written in the book
Tears fallling now
If only she gave a second look
She gave up everything
Her life, her heart, her love
For just a blessing of something
Praying it came towering from above
Alone like she was destined to be
Her twelve year old image smiles
"This is what you wanted."
From her life she lives away in miles
College dropout, failed best friend
Dreams may come but with a grave expense
The price of everything...
How could I be so dense?

Well, I'm just...I don't know what to say. I feel so alone. Alone alone alone. Have a happy holiday, please, for me? Thank you.
