There's Still Time

by Ellie Lawson

Lyrics
All this girl wanna do is drink
Get back in her room and think
Nobody even knows she's there
Crying at night, she needs care, yeah
And nobody wanna be her lover
And nobody wanna be her friend
And nobody wanna spend the time
Finding a deeper, darker problem

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, there's still time
Shouldn't everybody get the chance to be someone?
There's still time
Shouldn't everybody have the right to be someone?

All this girl wanna do is sleep
Knocked on her door today
She was really very sick, sick
She told me to keep well away
Nobody can work her out
Everybody says leave her to rot
I wish I could find a cure
Make all of her hurting stop

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, there's still time
Shouldn't everybody get the chance to be someone?
There's still time
Shouldn't everybody have the right to be someone?

So many women forsaken
All their backs they're breaking
Just for money we're chasing
A sick world we're creating
So many addictions to prescriptions
We're not healing the pain, just the symptoms
People are plugged into their hatred
But we gotta wake up first and we gotta face it
Cycles of verbal abuse, physical abuse, excuse after excuse
They lie until they're blue in the face
When they say that there's no use, you got no case
You know there's gotta be a better way

There's still time
Shouldn't everybody get the chance to be someone?
There's still time
Shouldn't everybody have the right to be someone?
