Alone Again (Live at KSSU)

She was sixteen with short dark hair
Never felt like anyone was there
Forgotten by her family, she hangs out after school
Smokes under the bleachers but doesn't think it's cool
She's got a best friend who's never around
Never picks up her calls
'Cuz she's always out
So she picks up her head and tries to move on
Her Dad says she's too pretty to get drunk
But she does it anyway
It's the price she has to pay
She's alone again
Alone again
Alone again
Alone again
Her brother just got back from jail
He helps make cookies for the bake sale
Her Mom feels like she is on her own
Wants to leave her boyfriend and throw away her phone
The girl sits alone and wonders why she's here
Is there a plan for her, that someone will hear
Is there a path for her, a light at the end of the tunnel
Then the night turns into day
No one asks if she's okay
She's alone again
Alone again
Alone again
Alone again
She slips on her jacket
Laces up her shoes
Gives you a ring, it doesn't go through
When nobody answers, she opens the door
At least this way she can be sure.
