Girls Who Die Alone

Girls with hearts as cold as stone
Will live their lives and die alone,
When tears trickle from the sky
And flowers wilt as she walks by,
Leaving a trail, dead and cold
Of broken dreams, both new and old,
And no one will ever know her heart
As she and this world are torn apart,
By the spirits of both death and pain
This girl will not be seen again,
By us or them, by you or me
We'll continue on quite happily,
As the girl with the heart as cold as stone
Who has lived her life now dies alone.
