I know that I broke it She said "Why'd you have to choke it?" It was beautiful and strong You were adding more as you went along I know that I killed it She said, "It wasn't he who stilled it" It was so young and new You were asking me what we should do I know that I did this She said, "Here's another thing you will miss" It was raw and frightened You were ready to help me be enlightened I know that I burned you She said, "No one ever turned on you" It was slow and painful You were trying to make it less shameful I know what I did now She said, "But you don't understand how" It's weak, but alive You were brave and you will thrive.

I Killed This, Too
I know that I broke it She said "Why'd you have to choke it?" It was beautiful and strong You were adding more as you went along I know that I killed it She said, "It wasn't he who stilled it" It was so young and new You were asking me what we should do I know that I did this She said, "Here's another thing you will miss" It was raw and frightened You were ready to help me be enlightened I know that I burned you She said, "No one ever turned on you" It was slow and painful You were trying to make it less shameful I know what I did now She said, "But you don't understand how" It's weak, but alive You were brave and you will thrive.
