Antidote

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

She set out to make a change
And leave her broken shattered past behind, past behind
To get back to the fairy tales
She dreamed about when she was just a child, just a child

She used to be an optimist but now she sees the obvious
She's running out of places to call home
At night time she cries out and lets the skylights be her audience
'Cause no one else will listen to her sad and lonely song

She's looking for an antidote
She's looking for a man that won't
Take advantage of her heart and steal her soul
Leave her in the freezing cold

A remedy
That will take the pain away
So she can go and start her life over again
Let the broken pieces mend

At age 19 she's tried it all
But can't remove the poison from her veins, from her veins
She blames herself and tries to numb
The shame imbued by self inflicting pain over and again

Something deep inside her heart rekindles and ignites a spark
And burns like candles lighting up the dark
She feels the air and breathes it in and dares herself to dream again
Let's go up on a search for something worth believing in

She's looking for an antidote
She's looking for a man that won't
Take advantage of her heart and steal her soul
Leave her in the freezing cold

A remedy
That will take the pain away
So she can go and start her life over again
Let the broken pieces mend

Now is not forever, all that soon will fade away
These walls will rend
There is an antidote to heal your broken pain

There is a lifeline that hides inside the maker of your brain
He gave His loving eye
Hold your head up high
You will get by, you will get by

Hold your head up high
You will get by
