i sat there on the shower floor
wringing out my heart full
of sadness and heartache
gasping for one dose of oxygen
to enter my lungs
choking back roaring screams
begging to slice the silence
struggling to keep my hands still
from trying to end the pain
aching to tell you that
this is who i become without you

I've spent my entire life making people happy
when all they did was
leave.

My Mama always told me, that I should never, ever, cry.
That I could only shed a tear, when someone very special died.

I kept that promise, Mama, for many, many, years.
But tonight, I'm filled with sorrow.
A river path has already been created from my eyes to my cheeks.
My body is shaking, My eyes are swollen, My jaw is clenched tight.
For I have lost someone very, very special to me.
Maybe no one can see, and maybe no one can tell, but, Mama,
I lost a little girl.

She ran from me far, far away.
Into the dark, deep, scary woods, where there was no way out.
I tried to help her, I tried to call out her name.
But she thought she could get out herself. And told me not to help.
Oh Mama! You wouldn't believe what happened next!
He came behind her and slaughtered the little girl.
Mutilated her.
Until there was nothing left but blood and bones.

Oh Mama! I'm so sorry!
I'm sorry I could not get her out!
I'm sorry that I didn't try harder to help her escape!
Oh Mama! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

The little, happy girl is gone.
But her killer is still on the loose.
He is swimming in glory and victory.
Showing off her stolen innocence as his award.

Oh Mama,
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that she is gone.

calm down
sit down
look down

I'm sorry
I can't hug you

is it enough I miss you

I got things
you're out in the world
without me

without me
you'll be fine
give it more time

let's meet again soon

we both cry
we'll both laugh
we'll both let go


something about you makes me want to stay

leave everything
so far away

I'll see you again
someday

calm down
I'm falling
we both know
