Lying here in the gutter
I remember what you said
Your voice inside my head
Saying you’d never leave.

Lying here in the rain
I remember all the love
The blessings from up above
Thinking it’d last for ever.

Lying here all alone
I remember your rages
Erasing all the pages
That had been filled with us.

Lying here crying without you
I feel so small and lost
I can feel the snow and frost
Coming down on me out here.

Got to get up and find somewhere
I can’t stay here all night
Immersed in pain and fright
Hiding from you.

Getting up, running
It’s too cold
My fingers are blue
I lost my shoes
My feet are freezing

Why isn’t there anyone in the streets?
Why isn’t there someone to help me?
How did I end up out here? Alone.
How did I end up out here? Without a home.
