10 Minute High Lyrics - Groove Theory - Groove Theory

She, she doesn't need it but she won't try 

Try to release it 

'Cause she thinks she'll die 

Depending on it, for it she'll lie 

It's only a 10 minute high 

Eyes that witnessed a father beat on a mother 

Witnessed a system take away her only brother 

No one ever said that they loved her 

She used to shut her eyes and make the pain subside 

But now she's got her 10 minute high 

Just for a little while 

She's queen of all the skies 

If a hit is bad, another one she can buy 

But everybody tells her to stop 

She would try but nobody gave her a good reason why 

Time has taken its toll 

She looks too old for 17 

The girl is much too bold 

Her heart is cold when it used to be of gold 

Her future has no chance to unfold 

She's used her body to get her way 

Is she ashamed of the games she's played 

But her best defense is to block out all the pain 

But first she buys her 

10 minute high 

Just for a little while she's floating through the sky 

What's she gonna do when she no longer can fly 

But is she gonna land on her feet or come down to die 

Or is she gonna just break down and cry? 

When she comes down it all becomes too clear 

She knows that someday she should face her fears 

But with a touch of reality and over the years 

She's forgotten what it feels to be real 

It's early morning, quiet is the street 

She lays in silence, the cold cement beneath her feet 

She passed away and today's her 18th birthday 

And all she's left me to say is 

She just had her last 10 minute high 

Did she contemplate that it would take away her life? 

She probably knew but she had no reason to fight 

And there is not a breath on her lips, not even a sigh 

If only she had known wrong from right, wrong from right 

If only she had known wrong from right 

If only she had known wrong, wrong from right 

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye 

Goodbye girl, goodbye, goodbye
