My Life

I was born in '88 Broken Hill, Australia
Mum had 7 kids I'm the 3rd of non failure

Grew up, got kicked out, had to find a place to stay
Packed my bags, took my things, i was on my way

Hugged the kids, said goodbye, "I'll call you soon"
Walked down the hall, took one last look at my room

Looked at mum, avoided him, tears in my eyes
She looks away, he's a prick, she believes all his lies

Thinking, wondering, trying to work out why
I give up, break down, sit in the gutter to cry

Get up, phone a friend, tell her whats going on
She says just wait there, don't worry, i wont be long

Call my dad try to explain i need a place, a home
I get told "live with me,you cant be on the street alone"

Nineteen hours on train, bored out of my mind
The lady sitting next to me smells like Orange rind

Off the train, theres my dad, hope he doesn't live to far
Says hello, grabs my stuff, we walk, then get in his car

We get there, i thank him, I'm going to be fine
See my room, close there door, don't stuff up this time

11 moths later

Had a fight, out again, where am i going to go?
grab my phone, call my sister, maybe she'll know

On the move, 5 places in 3 months, i want to settle down
look on the net, to find a home, call the places i found

Phone rings, Pick it up, its the refuge, yes hello
can you help me? can i live there? i have nowhere to go

move in, new house, six others live here
I'm the only girl, no sex, lets make that clear

one more chance, this is it, here it goes
i better no stuff up, well who knows

6 months latter move out stuff up move back in
had to many fights, some i didn't win

3 months later

brother calls me, has a house, do i want to live with him
OK, yes i do, when can i move in?

3months later, I'm still here,happy as can be
and all I'm doing is just being me
