Withered within - dark and deep
Withered within - can't get to sleep
Withered within - lonely and weak
Withered within - it's love she seeks
Physically tired, with bones that ache
Withdrawn and forlorn, no friends to make
Alone in the world, no place for the meek
Withered within - it's love she seeks
Alone and tired she makes her way
Through her short life without a say
Withered within - yearning for peace
Withered within - when will it cease
Alone in life - alone in death
Did anyone care, or love young Beth
Now that she's gone - no one can tell
Withered within - her personal hell
