lyrics

Somewhere long ago
in a place I don't ever want to go again
I lost what little sense I had
Stubborn as a stone
Fragile as a home broken by pain
a pill-popping shame

and if you find me walking down Lonely Street
would you stop and remind me, "Hey!
what cha doing in this place?"

I was just a kid
and everything everyone else did
seemed so much better than my own half-hidden heart
Silent as a still picture
fading over time ticking away
like my invisible face

and if you find me walking down Lonely Street
would you stop and remind me, "Hey!
what cha doing in this place?"

Cuz in the morning
it all looks so different
and the marks upon your arms
become the scars that you'll overcome
so stop
put down the razorblade
flush all your shame away
just give yourself the break
you'd offer anyone else

and if you find me walking down Lonely Street
would you stop and remind me, "Hey!
quit staring down at your feet!"
cuz all around you are the dreams that will set you free
and you'll be fine
so just don't f*ck it up this time
