She set out to make a change And leave her broken shattered past behind, past behind To get back to the fairy tales She dreamed about when she was just a child, just a child
She used to be an optimist but now she sees the obvious She's running out of places to call home At night time she cries out and lets the skylights be her audience 'Cause no one else will listen to her sad and lonely song
She's looking for an antidote She's looking for a man that won't Take advantage of her heart and steal her soul Leave her in the freezing cold
A remedy That will take the pain away So she can go and start her life over again Let the broken pieces mend
At age 19 she's tried it all But can't remove the poison from her veins, from her veins She blames herself and tries to numb The shame imbued by self inflicting pain over and again
Something deep inside her heart rekindles and ignites a spark And burns like candles lighting up the dark She feels the air and breathes it in and dares herself to dream again Let's go up on a search for something worth believing in
She's looking for an antidote She's looking for a man that won't Take advantage of her heart and steal her soul Leave her in the freezing cold
A remedy That will take the pain away So she can go and start her life over again Let the broken pieces mend
Now is not forever, all that soon will fade away These walls will rend There is an antidote to heal your broken pain
There is a lifeline that hides inside the maker of your brain He gave His loving eye Hold your head up high You will get by, you will get by
