Youngest Daughter Lyrics
Superheaven
Lyrics
It's useless, I tried but to no avail
To tell you how much I know, how much I care
Come home
Breathe until your lungs fail
You can sing 'til you go deaf
Every day that you don't call her
I can feel it
You're coming down
I am sick
I am horrified at everything I hear
The youngest daughter lost her way
Everyday repeats itself again
The cycle of our misery, it drives us all insane
Please come home
The poison takes away from us
Now you're sick to death from all the drugs
Breath until your lungs fail
You can sing 'till you go deaf
Every day that you don't call her
I can feel it
You're coming down
