She gave up on love at 18 years old

Said it was just a lie that the foolish told

And finding herself alone and cold

She gave up on the world



She lit up a smoke every day or two

Till eventually she lost count of how many packs she'd gone through

She thought that she had nothing left to lose

She gave up on the world



She hasn't been home now in several days

Tonight makes the third week straight

He's been struggling to sleep since he ran away

He hopes that she finds the strength that she's been looking for

Cause he just can't take the searching anymore



She found some relief with a bottle in her hand

But the bottle can be such a fickle friend

She swore a million times she'd never drink again

She gave up on the world



She hasn't been home now in several days

Tonight makes the third week straight

He's been struggling to sleep since he ran away

He hopes that she finds the strength that she's been looking for

Cause he just can't take the searching anymore
