Don't obey your heart, always wrong from the start.
Don't shame your eyes, never thought it through.
Cold, cheap stain, you lost love and gave it away, said that you can't cope, with trouble these days, when I grow up will I be just the same.
So slow, these homes, I won't breathe in.
She says she's 18, softest skin in the Summer winds,
so happy chasing, all the love of a simple dream.
Her body burnt well, stuck under bridges of early hell,
Millstream Creek never felt so cold, skin turns to ash in the cruellest world.
Sombre nights, will fade away, return to the morning, there's so much more.
Father Fred it's okay to cry, you're sitting in court rubbing swollen eyes,
hard to swallow and to realise, we're all lonely until the day we die.
