[Verse 1]

There was a girl named Emma, Emma was 12 years old

You can find this kinda girl in every area code

She spends most of her days alone, locked in her room

Looking out the window, raindrops in her room

Thoughts of suicide, would even cut herself

She didn't love herself, she hated her reflection

She cried for attention but no one listened

Emma was depressed, Daddy was missing

Mommy was busy working, she wishes things were different

She only had one friend, and that friend had both parents

It hurt Emma bad, her soul slowly perished

Momma loved her but Momma was always running errands

Emma asked Momma, 'Momma, why you never home? Momma, I got an A in class look, '

'Baby that's good, but I gotta go to work, we'll talk about it later, '

'You always say that Momma, '

'I promise Emma', 'you always promise

You always break it, you're not being honest, '

[Verse 2]

Four years later, Emma's sixteen

Doing bad in school, has a bad attitude

Addicted to Valiums, addicted to fun with boys and girls in school bathrooms

Emma can care less if Momma's never home

Cause now she can bring boys to her house that are double her age that bring drugs so she can get blown

She still misses the times when Daddy was around

But Daddy left so that boy she just met with a car can hold her down

She's looking for love in all the wrong places

She's sleeping with strangers, the fast life's contagious

She knows what she's doing is dangerous, but she don't give a spit

If she lives or dies tonight, she's tryna live a bit

Deep down, there's a little girl that just lost her route

But no one was around to show her how to get out

So now, she's stuck in the vicious cycle and it's going down, Something bad might happen if she doesn't slow it down

[Verse 3]

Emma's twenty years old now but her face is thirty

Maturity never struck but drugs aged her early

She's been through a lot of tough times, mistakes and worry

This place she's placed herself in is grey and blurry

She barely sees Momma, when Momma tries to call her

She says 'it's too late Momma, I gotta go meet Conner

Conner is my new boyfriend, I know you never met him

Cause I won't let him, he's asked about you, and I won't tell him

How great of a mother you were, a drug addicted felon

I'll keep that a secret between us, no need for yelling'

Hangs up the phone, picks up a needle from the night stand

Flicks it, a couple times and sticks it in her right hand

Lays her head back on the pillow, looks at the ceiling

Little does she know she's injected too much of that villain

Looking out the window, she slowly dies off

That's the last raindrop, her eyes saw
