Laura's Song

Laura had it all the whole world in the palm of her hand
But life got too heavy for her to hold onto every good she had
Struggled with the demons that kept her believing
She would never be worthy of love
She never let you get too close only blistered by her sun

Burn baby burn
You are a shooting star
Lighting up the midnight moon
Living life so hard

Laura this is your song
As hard as it is we’ve got to keep moving on
Sometimes you don’t know all you’ve lost until it’s gone
Laura I just wanted to sing you this song

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

Always on the rebound from one thing or the another
So many times she tried to turn her life around
Rode her gift horse as far as she could go
Until one night she finally bottomed out
She could be darker than a skyline in winter
So damn reckless when she was strung out
The only thing she wanted more than anything
Was to find a good man to build her dreams around

Hurt baby hurt
Pain really left its mark
Tattooed on your soul
Etched across your heart

Laura this is your song
As hard as it is you have to be strong
Sometimes we don’t know all we’ve lost until it’s gone
Laura I just wanted to sing you this song
