Stephanie always makes a lot of plans She has decided, she has decided She is gonna leave Asoon as high school ends In a house where no one ever cares In her room in the attic, room in the attic She wakes up to the sound of footsteps On the stairs
If it's true what they, what they say Stephanie has gone away If they're right, if they're right Stephanie took off last night
Stephanie lives with a mother and son Who can no longer hide it, no longer hide Their hate for her because she is daddy's favorite one On an August night in 2004 At the end of the summer, end of the summer When they enter her room A baseball bat falls on the floor
If it's true what they, what they say Stephanie has gone away If they're right, if they're right Stephanie took off last night
Do you know that Billy Joel song It says only the good die young If they're right, if they're right Stephanie was killed last night
Stephanie always made a lot of plans She had decided, she had decided She was gonna leave as soon as high school ended On that terrifying August night Down by the river, down by the river Is where Stephanie was left after she died
If it's true what they say, what they say Stephanie has gone away If they're right, if they're right Stephanie was killed last night If they're right Stephanie was killed last night
She never really wanted much She never really had a chance
