Hi,

The lyrics belong to Vanessa Carlton, the rest of the songfic to myself.

This is Olivia's point of view.

Enjoy

Home.

Another day by myself.

Another year by myself.

With nobody to hold or to care for.

With no one caring for me.

Once upon a year gone by

She saw herself give in

Every time she closed her eyes

She saw what could have been

Well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds

When covers tucked in tight

Funny when the bottom drops

How she forgets to fight... to fight

And it's one more day in paradise

One more day in paradise

Looking out the window I see

That there is nothing there for me.

It's cold now, almost Christmas time.

Just one more chance for me.

To get this right.

As darkness quickly steals the light

That shined within her eyes

She slowly swallows all her fear

And soothes her mind with lies

Well all she wants and all she needs

Are reasons to survive

A day in which the sun will take

Her artificial light... her light

And it's one more day in paradise

One more day in paradise

It's one more day in paradise

One last chance to feel alright... alright

Seating in my sofa for hours now,

Staring blindly at my gun

Will this be the end to my loneliness?

Or will I be brave enough

To survive.

Don't pretend to hold it in just let it out

Don't pretend to hold it in just push it out

Don't you try to hold it in just let it out and

Don't you try to hold it in you hold it in

Once upon a year gone by

She saw herself give in

Every time she closed her eyes

She saw what could have been

Sad…I know – Let me know what you think!!
