| Fading away from here
|
| Sometimes I close my eyes and try to disappear
|
| Take me away from everything that is hurting me
|
| Can anyone help get my life back
|
| Her name was Kelly, she was living next door to me
|
| A pretty little girl from time to time would try to talk to me
|
| Said she loved music and would always sing a song to me
|
| To see her daily by the window, she’d be calling me
|
| She told me that she was a fan, I can’t believe
|
| She’s living next to Flawless so I gave her some CDs
|
| Was always nice to her, she was only fifteen
|
| And I could tell she had a crush and talking to me was a dream
|
| But, then I started wondering if I was new to the fact that I’ve never seen her
|
| leave her house to go to school
|
| Never seen her outside and I don’t know if this is true
|
| But looking back, I’ve never seen her leave her room
|
| It was clear. |
| I’m doing tours across the country and I’m never here
|
| So I judge the situation isn’t real fair
|
| Until the last time I tried to leave she was really scared
|
| Don’t know what she feared but she said she was
|
| Fading away from here
|
| Sometimes I close my eyes and try to disappear
|
| Take me away from everything that is hurting me
|
| Can anyone help get my life back
|
| Was on the road and if I had a little time
|
| I’d respond to all the emails she’d be sending me online
|
| Would always check on how she’s doing
|
| At the moment it was fine
|
| Until I got a message that will never sit well in my mind
|
| It read:
|
| «Dear Flawless, I hope you’re doing well. |
| But I’m in a lot of trouble when I
|
| don’t know who to tell. |
| I know I’m gonna lose it if I don’t get any help,
|
| I think I want to end it all, this life I’m living is a hell. |
| Please,
|
| I need to find a way out, I hope you write back. |
| I know you’re probably busy
|
| but you said you’d always write back. |
| You said that you’re my friend,
|
| I love you, I don’t even like rap. |
| But I need someone who can help me get my
|
| life back.»
|
| I sat back not really knowing what to say
|
| I gotta get her help to show her that there’s a different way
|
| But before I clicked away, I realized she had plenty more to say
|
| Fading away
|
| Fading away from here
|
| Sometimes I close my eyes and try to disappear
|
| Take me away from everything that is hurting me
|
| Can anyone help get my life back
|
| Get my life back
|
| Help me get my life back
|
| Get my life back
|
| Help me get my life back
|
| All these weeks are flying by
|
| Even though I try to stay in touch it’s really busy when you’re on the other
|
| side
|
| I start to think of Kelly and I feel it all inside
|
| She was probably leaving emails that I never had replied
|
| I’m behind
|
| Went to read them all in order but was blind the second I saw the pain she was
|
| spilling with every line
|
| And then I saw the latest message
|
| Something caught my eye in bold letters
|
| I’m seeing that the title said «Goodbye»
|
| And it read:
|
| «Dear Flawless, since you won’t respond I guess you don’t understand what’s
|
| really going on. |
| Two years ago it changed and my father and my mom split ways,
|
| now she’s got somebody strange round her arm and mine. |
| In the middle of the
|
| night he wakes me, takes me, by his filthy hands and then makes me.
|
| I tried to tell my mother but she says that I was crazy, and I wanna see her
|
| happy I wish my daddy would come save me. |
| What makes it worse is that he never
|
| was protected. |
| Injected a part of him and now I know I’m pregnant.
|
| I don’t have any friends, this life is not what I expected. |
| Got myself kicked
|
| out of school 'cause I get bullied every second. |
| I had to sneak to send you all
|
| these emails that I wrote. |
| Foolish to think that you wouldn’t take this as a
|
| joke. |
| I’m only fifteen and always had a little hope and now I see my life is
|
| over, there’s no other way to cope. |
| What I’m really trying to say,
|
| I wish that I could stay. |
| Talking to you used to be my favorite part of my day.
|
| But I’m sick of waiting for someone to come and save the day, so it’s time to
|
| let go and let God come and take me away.»
|
| «It comes after the death of a fifteen year old student who killed herself»
|
| «Kelly's mother discovered the body Monday after school, she’d hanged herself
|
| in her bedroom»
|
| «…will now face charges in connection with her death»
|

|
| charges against him were dropped»
|
| «Spokes person for the prosecutors says Kelly was the only source of evidence,
|
