Sarah Yellin’ Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She says, I got something to say
She knows what she says will change everything
She's laid through so many sleepless nights
She’s crying, she’s crying, she’s crying
[Chorus]
Mother, that man took my soul away
Father, how could you ever treat me this way?
Brother, don't ever let him do this again
This time it’s over, I’m gonna make it end
Now it’s over and the old man is dead
Lying on the ground, bullet in his head
[Verse 2]
She stood at the foot of the guilty bed last night
She held what could set her free for the rest of her life
She did all that she said that she planned to do
She’s through, she’s through, she’s through, yeah
[Chorus]
Mother, that man took my soul away
Father, how could you ever treat me this way?
Brother, don't ever let him do this again
This time it’s over, I’m gonna make it end
Now it’s over and the old man is dead
Lying on the ground, bullet in his head
She says, I got something to say
She knows what she says will change everything
She's laid through so many sleepless nights
She’s crying, she’s crying, she’s crying
[Chorus]
Mother, that man took my soul away
Father, how could you ever treat me this way?
Brother, don't ever let him do this again
This time it’s over, I’m gonna make it end
Now it’s over and the old man is dead
Lying on the ground, bullet in his head
[Verse 2]
She stood at the foot of the guilty bed last night
She held what could set her free for the rest of her life
She did all that she said that she planned to do
She’s through, she’s through, she’s through, yeah
[Chorus]
Mother, that man took my soul away
Father, how could you ever treat me this way?
Brother, don't ever let him do this again
This time it’s over, I’m gonna make it end
Now it’s over and the old man is dead
Lying on the ground, bullet in his head

Genius Annotation
The 11th song on Away From The Sun, 2002, and the 10th song on 3 Doors Down (Demo), 1997. This song is presumably about a young girl named Sarah (hence the title, Sarah Yellin') who has shot her father. Though the reason why she has done this isn’t explicit, it’s implied to be because of some sort of abusive behavior. (I.E.: “Father, how could you ever treat me this way?”)
