Somewhere there's a drowning girl with nobody to save her

Fathers hair, her mothers eyes

It's she, her parents favor

They think they'll see her later

They won't

Drowning in the fear and stress her family filled her life with

Be popular and ace your tests or you can consider your life missed

Not quite the life which she wished

For herself

They want what's best, so they say

If they had a clue it would turn out this way

Things would have been different from the start

They never would have pushed their little girl so hard

Words in her head, things she never said

Cries and lies thinking she's better off dead

But when it comes true and there's nothing she can do

She starts to regret all the things she never said

Her parents have two other kids one just got into college

He worked his ass off, he's proud of himself

But they still can't acknowledge

He wants them to pay homage

They don't

The final child's an invisible girl who plays within the shadows

She's got big shoes to fill 'cause of her sister

She usually walks on tip toes

Does anyone even know

That she's there

Families fall apart when tragedy strikes

They can't stand each other now all they do is fight

The father sneaks out he's having an affair

The mother stays home drowning in her own despair

How did they get here? where did they fall?

Was their perfect child not so perfect after all?

Was it their fault? what had they done?

If they don't change will they lose another one?

Please release me

Please release (listen to) me

Please release (listen to (notice)) me

For me

Please listen to (notice) me

Please listen to (notice) me

Please listen to (notice) me

She was the only one who would listen to him

She was the only one who'd notice her there

Her parents golden child

Lived a lie just to make them smile

Is it a grim tale or a very bad dream

This unveiling of a ghostly scene

One body in the lake

But five souls died that day
