Never Born to Follow - Alter Bridge

I know you feel it tonight

She’s a million miles from this life

Never to return

She left it all behind

If only I could have known

The things she held in her soul

She harbored so much hurt

She faced the world alone

She dropped out and just tore herself away

She was never born to follow

Dropped out of a world she couldn’t take

And she was never born to follow

Into this life, she was born

A firefly in the storm

And God, how she would burn

She needed so much more

She never said goodbye

So it came as no surprise

I always feared the worst

The peace she had to find

She dropped out and just tore herself away

She was never born to follow

Dropped out of a world she couldn’t take

And she was never born to follow

What else could be said

What else could be done

Life has slipped away

Should have, could have, overcome

Still, I miss her face

Brighter than the sun

She had to find her way

She dared to dream, she dared to run

She dropped out and just tore herself away

She was never born to follow

Dropped out of a world she couldn’t take

And she was never born to follow
