She, she doesn't need it but she won't try   Try to release it   'Cause she thinks she'll die   Depending on it, for it she'll lie   It's only a 10 minute high      Eyes that witnessed a father beat on a mother   Witnessed a system take away her only brother   No one ever said that they loved her   She used to shut her eyes and make the pain subside   But now she's got her 10 minute high      Just for a little while   She's queen of all the skies   If a hit is bad, another one she can buy   But everybody tells her to stop   She would try but nobody gave her a good reason why      Time has taken its toll   She looks too old for 17   The girl is much too bold   Her heart is cold when it used to be of gold   Her future has no chance to unfold      She's used her body to get her way   Is she ashamed of the games she's played   But her best defense is to block out all the pain   But first she buys her   10 minute high      Just for a little while she's floating through the sky   What's she gonna do when she no longer can fly   But is she gonna land on her feet or come down to die   Or is she gonna just break down and cry?      When she comes down it all becomes too clear   She knows that someday she should face her fears   But with a touch of reality and over the years   She's forgotten what it feels to be real      It's early morning, quiet is the street   She lays in silence, the cold cement beneath her feet   She passed away and today's her 18th birthday   And all she's left me to say is   She just had her last 10 minute high      Did she contemplate that it would take away her life?   She probably knew but she had no reason to fight   And there is not a breath on her lips, not even a sigh   If only she had known wrong from right, wrong from right   If only she had known wrong from right   If only she had known wrong, wrong from right      Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye   Goodbye girl, goodbye, goodbye
