Neglected
Edgewater Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel sometimes that she's not missed at all
I feel this time that she's been left behind

I feel sometimes that she's neglected
I feel sometimes that she will rise

Why has her life been dismissed?
Somebody tell me why
Has her life been dismissed?

Cold December day I walked in
Well there she lay
Her skin was bare the tears rolled down her face
They're tears of fear death takes her place
And I am scared of

She needs more time

Today is not a good day she left the life she lived
Today is not a good day she left the life she's given





Won't walk away
