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.) |
