Come 3 O'Clock

I think this speaks for itself.

Come 3 o'clock

Verse 1:
Right now, I can see her beautiful smile
For a while, her eyes will still shine
Her laughter is like ringing bells
She'd never think of hurting herself

Pre-Chorus:
But come 3 o'clock, she gets off at the bus stop
Walks through the door of her tiny apartment

Chorus:
Daddy's telling her she don't do anything right
Momma's saying she won't ever find love
The scars inside her heart match the ones on her arms
The tears stream down her cheeks
The blood drips down her arms
A smile can hide so much

Verse 2:
Her friend wants to meet her big brother
She's gotta make up some excuse
"Sorry, he's got practice every day"
And then she thinks, "that's the truth, I'm the football he likes to use"

Pre-Chorus
And come 3 o'clock, she gets off at the bus stop
Walks through the door of her apartment again

Chorus:
Daddy's telling her she don't do anything right
Momma's saying she won't ever find love
The scars inside her heart match the ones on her arms
The tears stream down her cheeks
The blood drips down her arms
A smile can hide so much

Bridge:
Oh, God, why does it have to be me?
i'm leaving this place the day I turn 18
But I don't know If I can last that long

Pre-Chorus:
Come 4 o'clock, 20 pills fill her hand
She closes the door, gets a glass of water
and on her note, she wrote

Chorus
"Daddy, you're always telling me I never do anything right
Momma, you always tell me that I'll never find love
the scars on my heart match the ones on my arms.
All you saw was the tears streaming down my face,
but not the blood dripping down my hands.
And you never saw me smile"

outro:
Come 5 o'clock, she finally feels herself slip away
