|
| There was a girl named Emma, Emma was 12 years old
|
| You can find this kinda girl in every area code
|
| She spends most of her days alone, locked in her room
|
| Looking out the window, raindrops in her room
|
| Thoughts of suicide, would even cut herself
|
| She didn’t love herself, she hated her reflection
|
| She cried for attention but no one listened
|
| Emma was depressed, Daddy was missing
|
| Mommy was busy working she wishes things were different
|
| She only has one friend, and that friend had both parents
|
| It hurt Emma bad, her soul slowly perished
|
| Momma loved her but Momma was always running errands
|
| Emma asked Momma, 'Momma why you never home? |
| Momma, I got an A in class look,'
|
| 'Baby that’s good, but I gotta go to work, we’ll talk about it later,'
|
| 'You always say that Momma,'
|
| 'I promise Emma'
|
| 'You always promise, you always break it, you’re not being honest,'

|
| Four years later, Emma’s sixteen
|
| Doing bad in school, has a bad attitude
|
| Addicted to Valium’s, addicted to sex with boys and girls in school bathrooms
|
| Emma can care less if Momma’s never home
|
| Cause now she brings boys to her house that are double her age so she can get
|
| blown
|
| She still misses the times when Daddy was around
|
| But Daddy left so that boy she just met with a car can hold her down
|
| She’s looking for love, in all the wrong places
|
| She’s sleeping with strangers, the fast life’s contagious
|
| She knows what she’s doing is dangerous, but she don’t give a shit
|
| If she lives or dies tonight, she’s tryna live a bit
|
| Deep down, there’s a little girl who lost her route
|
| No one was around to show her how to get out
|
| So now, she’s stuck in the vicious cycle
|
| And it’s going down, something bad might happen if she doesn’t slow it down

|
| Emma’s twenty years old now but her face is thirty
|
| Maturity never struck but drugs aged her early
|
| She’s been through a lot of tough times, mistakes and worry
|
| This place she’s placed herself in is grey and blurry
|
| She barely sees Momma, when Momma tries to call her
|
| She says 'it's too late Momma, I gotta go meet Conner
|
| Conner is my new boyfriend, I know you never met him
|
| Cause I won’t let him, he’s asked about you, and I won’t tell him
|
| How great of a mother you were, a drug addicted felon
|
| Keep that a secret between us, no need for yelling'
|
| Hangs up the phone, picks up a needle from the night stand
|
| Flicks it, a couple times and sticks it in her right hand
|
| Lays her head back on the pillow, looks at the ceiling
|
| Little does she know she’s injected too much of that villain
|
| Looking out the window, she slowly dies off
|
| That’s the last raindrop, her eyes saw
