I have too many words to bear Too many thoughts screaming Emotions wheeling Oh why can I not find the thing to say? Oh baby girl, you came to me You held your broken heart In those broken, tired hands You begged me Fix it, lady, please You wept and sighed You searched for things You just can’t find You’re at a dead end But convinced you’re only halfway there You won’t give it up But you’re giving in I’m watching you slowly die Oh baby girl why? I can’t do what he did I can’t fix your troubles in the night With skin and sin Combining to keep you Still alive, still in his sight Baby girl you wanted to leave But you refused not to stay Trapped in the twisted game you play Your lips are blue, hands are shaking You’re farther in than close to being out You’re much more than a girl Little less than a dream So different than you first seemed You think so deep and cut so low More empowering than you could ever know But when you’re gone you are so far away You’re sarcastic and cruel And downright rude You mock my efforts and pleas And spit accusations of insincerity But how could I have known? And you sleep now So tender, undisturbed, with every emotion unchecked Your fingers grasp the sheets Your cheeks damp, and streaked I see you unmasked, such a beautiful thing Inside your mind You again dream Of sinking ships and lovers lost I helped you, he helped you, But baby girl, at what cost?
