[ Alisha they tell me ]

Alisha they tell me
this is your  last chance
dont screw it up
there is nothing more
we can do for you
if you burn this bridge
where are you going to go
Do they not get they
are always tearing me down
no support nothing
I'm all alone and no one cares
Mom left when I was 7
Dad in jail...
Adopted and got the shit
beat out of me all the time
Put back in foster care and
they throw my past in my face
I'll be 18 soon they wont be
able to stop me when I decide to
up and leave....
Don't they get that
There's not much I fear in
this world...
I'm already alone fighting
to hold on to the little piece
of me that I have left...
What more do they want from
me...
I'm trying don't they see
Alisha you don't have anything to
go back to they tell me
straighten up and be strong
they say
Yet I've held my ground
always the one that was strong
never breaking down
Well its my turn to just let
my tears fall
I'm tired of being the one thats
always composed and holds back
her fears when everyone around me
is breaking down....
That day is coming I'll be 18
and then I'm gone
