Was that the flicker of a little girl?
|
(Some moments our story is meaningless.)
|
When you just want to feel safe, you just want to be loved
|
And you know there's no better place than this
|
|
Maybe I could prove myself wrong,
|
Maybe things fall together than pull apart
|
|
'Seen you when you were fourteen coming home from school
|
(It's so easy to be beautiful when you're young.)
|
I still see that light that is shining through those tired eyes
|
Could those eyes see what was coming then?
|
|
And we all want what we can't afford
|
And we all get what we deserve
|
|
Too many deaths and betrayals, too many lies
|
(Makes it hard to trust the moment you're in.)
|
Too many teardrops that you hold inside
|
(They were always gonna pour over me someday.)
|
|
Maybe I could prove myself wrong,
|
Held on to something I thought I never could
|
'Never carelessly mislaid
|
I always knew just where it was
|
|
Was that the flicker of a little girl?
|
(Some moments our story is meaningless.)
