lyrics

Let me set the stage the first time that I felt true pain
The last girl that kept my heart
Got lost somewhere between her home and the bar
6 monthes still never found
Everyday her parents search that town
Hoping to find maybe a lock of her hair

A lock of her hair
She's hiding somewhere
A lock of her hair

I think that everyone holds a tragedy so near and dear
It's what keeps you up at night
It's why you spill your guts to strangers On a Train
Hoping they can clean up the mess

We can never get over it
The pain just takes different forms
We can never get over it
This is what happens when your head and your heart are at war

We make it who we are
We learn to appreciate the scar
We make it who we are

Oh Charlene
Your face still haunts my dreams
They say the worst part is not knowing
Who holds your daughter's remains
Oh Charlene
I wish I had the strength
To say this to you
To you

To you
Say this to you
To you
To you
