So much for, a home to call your own
Parent's screaming through the night
They drank and drank until she said goodbye
She's stronger on her own
Searching for the hope in this, to find a place where more than hope exists
This is not your fault [This is not your fault]
This is not your fault
She smiles, life hasn't been fair to her [Dakota]
She, smiles cause you can't get the best of her [Dakota]
She, smiles and gives herself for someone else
and won't ask a thing in return [Dakota]
She's been told, those simple words "I love you"
She took him back so many times, he lied alot until she said goodbye
She's stronger on her own
The truth is that she doesn't see,
she needs much more than simple words can be
This is not your fault [This is not your fault]
This is not your fault
She smiles, life hasn't been fair to her [Dakota]
She, smiles cause you can't get the best of her [Dakota]
She, smiles and gives herself for someone else
and won't ask a thing in return [Dakota]
You might see her crying but, you won't catch her lying down
You might see her crying but, you won't catch her lying down
You might see her crying but, you won't catch her lying down
She won't make a sound
The little girl she's holding in her arms
The doctors don't know why she died
Her heart just stopped, she didn't say goodbye
Solo
She smiles, life hasn't been fair to her
She, smiles cause you can't get the best of her
She, smiles and gives herself for someone else
and won't ask a thing in return
Oh no, she won't ask a thing in return
Dakota, life hasn't been fair to you
Dakota, life hasn't been fair to you
Dakota, life hasn't been fair to you
Dakota..
