she's run away
she's looking for a better day
but good intentions don't make up for anything

she's gone before
but no one's really sure where she goes
the only thing anybody knows is

she'll be back tomorrow
smelling like cheap alchohol
her parents will forgive her
her friends will take a little time

and when we ask her
where she went to
she will quickly change the subject

once in awhile she'll start to cry but
when we ask her why she only lies

she's gone again
she tells me i'm her only friend
but i'm not sure just what she means

and she'll come home
and it'll hurt a little more
to see her tearing at the seams

she says i'm her friend
until the bitter end
