It gets dark
And a shiver moves across my skin
There are stars
But the cloudy skies won't let them in
I'm gonna write a few words
And I hope they carry all this way
Back to the start of this girl
When she still had something good to say

Seventeen
And you know exactly what you need
Twenty-two
And they still see something great in you
But no one tells you a word
About the lonely echo in your heart
When it's been filled up with hurt
And your whole world starts to come apart

They rest in peace, won't ever comeback
All the stories I was told
I had a dream, it's fading to black
Just like me it's growing old
So rest in peace, there is no comeback
I will never have or hold
Now hear me screaming from the pitch-black
That this world is not a home

Say goodbye
That's the only word you'll ever need
When you try
It gets so much harder to succeed
If I had nothing to lose
I would surely lose it in the end
And you know if I could choose
I would never do it all again

They rest in peace, won't ever comeback
All the stories I was told
I had a dream, it's fading to black
Just like me it's growing old
So rest in peace, there is no comeback
I will never have or hold
Now hear me screaming from the pitch-black
That this world is not a home

It's pumping through my system
Get the poison out of me
What good is a believer
When there's nothing to believe
So put me in a shuttle
Let me spin around the world
Show me the stars, oh

They rest in peace, won't ever comeback
All the stories I was told
I had a dream, it's fading to black
Just like me it's growing old
So rest in peace, there is no comeback
I will never have or hold
Now hear me screaming from the pitch-black
That this world is not a, that this world is not a home
