hold on

What happened to the girl I knew
Whose smile lit up my darkest hours?
A bright and shining star
Burning out before her time.
Once full of love and laughter
Now pain and hatred fill your heart.
My strength is wearing out,
And prayers are running thin.
A haggard heart reaches out
And grasps at thin wisps of hope.
Tears run freely when I look upon you,
Wasting such an amazing life.
What made you hate yourself so?
Why did you have to change?
I just want to hold you tight
And protect you from the world.
Baby girl come home to me
Let me help you save yourself.
