The Broken Child
I CARED BEFORE BUT I LEARNED
FROM MY MISTAKES , THE CHILD IN ME
RAN WITH YOU. ALL IT EVER WANTED WAS TO BE SAFE
IF YOU COULDNT BE THERE
IT WAS ALONE
IT KNEW THE CONSEQUENCES, YET
IT STILL FOLLOWS
DAMNED THIS POOR CHILD
DEEP UNDER YOUR SPELL
WONDERING ONE DAY IF YOULL SET IT FREE
PLAYING WITH THE CHILD, YOU LIE
PRETEND YOU CARE
AND MAKE IT CRY THEN WALK AWAY
LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED
THOUGH THERES A CHILD ALONE
WONDERING IF IT WASNT GOOD ENOUGH
IT KNEW YOUR LOVE WAS SCARCE
HOPED YOU HAD A HEART ENUFF
TO NOT BREAK ITS
BUT YOU DIDNT WANT TO SAVE THE CHILDS HEART
YOU ONLY CARED FOR YOURSELF
NOW YOU WATCH AS THE CHILD PICKS UP WHATS LEFT OF HER
AND FALLS APART
