Lyrics

Sometimes we don?t see eye to eye,
but let?s agree to disagree this time.
We?re gonna work it out, the end I can all ready see,
I see it so clearly, I see us living happily.

Everyday, is the same thing.
We fight, we talk, we laugh, we gawk at what we have become.
A joke to the other one is a cry for help,
one look into her eyes reminds us that this is her hell.
This is our everyday, and it?s not gonna go away.

A day in the life, a day in the death,
Of this little girl who has nothing left.

Through the looking glass they will see,
our instability.
We?re just showing them what it would be like if your child was dead inside.
Let?s not learn to hide from, what came from inside of us.

You can yell at us you can point you finger,
you can even tell us that we are irrational and insane.
But put yourself where we are and tell me about your day.
How did it go, where did she go, I can tell by your face.
This is our everyday, and it?s not gonna go away.

How do I fall asleep at night,
knowing what I know and knowing that it?s not right.
Can life really be this hard, can she really be this far away,
This is our everyday, and it?s not gonna go away.
