She doesn’t have control over your sympathy If you want her to wreck herself for company She will be the one to keep you happy If she goes you’ll find another just as easily Despite your ability to please her You won’t find her smiling Pleading to stay quiet But you tell her it’s worth it We’ll all watch in silence Feeding you with confidence You hold her future in your bare hands You came one bright morning with your suitcase Told us not to worry you’d find your own place Secretly you gathered all you needed Left us on the wind with only a wave We wondered was she ever happy? She seemed so quiet and lonely The guilt over our shoulders A blanket laid upon us We’ll all watch in silence Feeding lies with confidence You held her future in your bare hands Slip like water from my sea of grief Too late now (?)
