I stand on solid ground

my fears make it tremble

and I’ve got too many words to say

so none escape my lips.

I’d take these words

pour them into your fingertips

I’ve got nothing else to lose now.

You’ve twisted the blade into my back

I’ll pretend it doesn’t hurt

you’ll never hear me falter.

I’m here on my knees begging

but let’s make this about you.

I’m here on my knees begging 

but let’s avoid the truth.

I’d never say the word “love”

if it bore no weight.

I love the way you hate to say that you love me.

l love to hate myself the way you love me 

but I won’t say it.

I’m here on my knees begging

but let’s make this about you.

I’m here on my knees begging

but let’s avoid the truth.

Pull away
she’s made of glass
and she has herself to blame for this.
The only other cause is the world “fragile”
that her father stamped on her forehead.

Survival is never an issue
Daddy came to pick up the pieces
because Little Girl couldn’t ever do wrong. 
She never learns, he never learns
but she never makes mistakes.

Daddy is her shadow
wiped her tears from her eyes
because she could never manage dry her own.
He fought her battles while she watched
because Little Girl can’t speak up.

Little Girl may have the car
but Daddy has the keys. 
She may drive away someday
with Daddy close behind

Because Little Girl never makes mistakes.
