I once was truly happy and carefree

and then my world fell apart around me. 

they came and stole my brother without any warning. 

I didn't get to say goodbye, I didn't even get to say good morning.
he was in and out of our lives in the blink of an eye.
we didn't know what to do, all we could do was cry.
but someone had to be strong.
and so I came along. 

please, please pick me instead. 

please let me help. 

let me try to make it better. 

I once was truly happy and carefree. 

and then my world fell apart around me. 

my dad packed up and went away. 

and when he came back, only an angry man wanted to play. 

He blamed himself and yelled at my mother. 

He blamed the world and yelled at my brother. 

but someone had to be strong.
and so I came along.

please, please pick me instead. 

please let me help. 

let me try to make it better. 

I once was truly happy and carefree. 

and then my world fell apart around me. 

my mom was so very depressed.

there was no reason to make anyone impressed.
she closed up and stayed inside.
while we went searching for answers outside.

but someone had to be strong. 

and so I came along. 

please, please pick me instead. 

please let me help.

let me try to make it better. 

I once was truly happy and carefree. 

and then my world fell apart around me. 

I tried to be a good girl and make it go away. 

I tried to be nice and make everyone stay. 

but then we moved. 

and it only proved.

no one wanted to pick me. 

sorry, you can not help. 

sorry, you can not make it better. 

I once was truly happy and carefree. 

and then my world fell apart around me. 

they came and took my other brother, all quiet and sneaky. 

they locked him up without a cure and no one could find the key.

I was so scared, so alone, no one but me. 

please, please make it stop. 

please make it go away. 

stop hurting them, stop hurting me. 

I just want to make it all better. 

I just want to be happy and carefree. 

I once was truly happy and carefree. 

and then my world fell apart around me. 

will it ever stop? 

will it ever go away? 

will I ever find the broken pieces scattered all around me?
