Gretel
Reliving my memories
buried under blankets of time
passing like sand through my fingers
I would give anything
Nails bitten until they're bleeding
I don't do this, I can't do this
look into the mirror
and face the awful truths
So pick me up and spin me around
I'm just a little girl again
My hopes and dreams are on my sleeve
And you are my greatest hero
Whisper the words out loud
that are screaming in my mind
I'm choking on this
Trying to heal the broken ones
over and over
because I can't reach you
And somehow the road curved
led me astray and into the forest
I'm Gretel but Hansel's nowhere
and the crows stole my way home
And they just keep saying “let it be”
but how can I ever be okay again
when the truth is
that I can't fix you
Every time you lie
you steal another tiny piece of me
how much can you lose
before you're nothing?
So pick me up and spin me around again
Because I am your little girl
Bitter and jaded from memories faded
And you are my greatest failure
