Babygirl

歌詞

There's big pieces of her life she can't remember Her mind shuts down, it's trying to protect her Might be for the best to forget But it seems like they always reappear when she least expects Late nights we lay awake Drowning in the lake that pours out of her face Years later she's still not safe Memories leak out, anytime, anyplace The way he smelled, the way he smiled The evil she even recognized as a child Hand on her throat, sting of a fist Instead of her first kiss she got this Shameful feeling, painful secret Lonely knowin' that nobody would believe it Heavy wound that escapes the time capsule It hurts like the day it was born and it's brand new I wasn't there, babygirl, but I'm here I don't know what to say I just hear If there's one wish I could make true I would shoulder that pain and take it off of you Don't run, babygirl, don't run You gotta face what you fighting head on Only one thing I could say in truth Gotta deal with the demons before they deal with you How can she find peace in her mind When love means returning to the scene of a crime? I can feel it inside We reopen wounds every time we intertwine Such an evil design When you can't even enjoy the sweetness you find Trying to see through the tears in your eyes And rebuild your shrine one piece at a time Made it all fade away Colors don't burn no more, it's all gray Can't find heaven from within that shell But it's enough of a blessin' just not seeing hell Constant inner dialog Says just end this rollercoast and ride you're on Only one solution seems final Slide into a hole where your pain can't find you I wasn't there babygirl, but I'm here I don't know what to say I just hear If there's one wish I could make true I would shoulder that pain and take it off of you Don't run babygirl, don't run You gotta face what you fighting head on Only one thing I could say in truth Gotta deal with the demons before they deal with you She said, "If I was meant to die he would've killed me. There must be a reason that I still breathe. I don't have the tools to rebuild me, But I still believe that one day I could feel free. And my body can be mine again. My eyes can learn how to shine again. My inner child won't have to hide and then When I'm strong then love can be invited in. Sweet God, that's all I ask of thee. I'm willing to give what you demand of me. I'm learning to embrace the reality That life doesn't always turn out how it's planned to be. I didn't deserve what was handed me. Only one who can grant happiness is me." What it takes for her to face the day I can only hope to be half that brave I wasn't there, babygirl, but I'm here I don't know what to say I just hear If there's one wish I could make true I would shoulder that pain and take it off you Don't run, babygirl, don't run You gotta face what you fighting head on Only one thing I could say in truth Gotta deal with the demons before they deal with you
