Every night I want to die
I lie in bed and start to cry
Please give me wings and let me fly

I live a life of pain and sadness
I fight just to get by
But in the end it doesnt matter
All I have is lost forever

I light a match and set my house
I sit in a wooden chair waiting to be caught
I hear the sound of rushing trucks
I hold to the arms

The chair leg catches and my pants begin to burn
They grab me firmly trying to pull me off
I hold on tighter but to no avail
Im rushed out only to be met by my friends

Im taken to the station and asked what happened but I wont speak
They give me paper to write what I want to say
They think Im mute
All I write is "give me wings and let me fly"

They think it means someone tried to lock me in the room and burn the house
They think I was scared so I wouldn't let go
But I just shake my head "no"
Why wont they just let me go?

My blonde hair is burnt black
My clothes tattered
My heart remains broken
But nobody cares

Days go by but I remain here
When I dont speak they start to yell
They take me to school every day
But I always just run away

I'll go see my friends at their houses
Try and spend the night but they find me
They pull me out
My attempts are useless

I run home where they wont find me
I stand in front of the burnt mess
I get on my knees and cry bloody tears
Another attempt denied

God doesnt love me
If he did then Id be gone by now
He keeps me away from death itself
Ive cut myself too many times to count

A rain comes down upon this place
My tears blend as a car pulls up
They come out and grab my arms
I fight and scream

Thunder roars above
Lightning strikes

People gather and scream and shout
Some guys come over and pull the men off me
My friends help me up and away
I look back once and see them drive away

The next day I return with my friends
The storm is still strong
Lightning strikes a nearby tree
It crushes the remains of the house

Every night I want to die
I lie in bed and start to cry
Please give me wings and let me fly
