Lyrics
Gotta end this night
Oh so horrible
Going to the light
So pretty and peaceful
People so bright
Calling No
It's not your time
You've got to go
CHORUS
She came back
And now she wonders why
She came back
Still heading for the light
Back there no heaven
Only hurt
A wreck on the mountain
A girl in the dirt
Enough pain already
I paid for my sins
Done my purgatory
Let me in
She came back
And now she wonders why
She came back
Still heading for the light
All of a sudden
Tumblin and reeling
Can't make no sound
Gotta scream
A minute or a year
Can't even say
But I know I'm here
And it's today
She came back
And now she wonders why
She came back
Still heading for the light
Repeat CHORUS
