[00:41.31]There's big pieces of a life she can't remember
[00:44.00]Her mind shuts down  it's trying to protect her
[00:46.62]Might be for the best to forget but it seems like
[00:49.00]They always reappear when she least expects
[00:51.38]
[00:51.94]Late nights we lay awake
[00:53.24]Drowning in the lake that pours out of her face
[00:56.43]Here's late but she's still not safe
[00:58.74]Memories live out in the time  in the place
[01:01.05]The way he smelled  the way he smiled
[01:03.29]The evil she even recognized as a child
[01:06.10]Hand on her throat  sting of a fist
[01:08.60]Instead of her first kiss she got this
[01:11.53]Shameful feeling  painful secret
[01:14.08]Lonely knowing that nobody would believe it
[01:16.57]Every wound that escapes her time capsule
[01:19.00]Hurts like the day it was born and it's brand new
[01:21.58]I wasn't there babygirl but I'm here
[01:24.21]I don't know what to say I just hear
[01:26.65]If there's one wish I could make true
[01:29.01]I would shoulder that pain and take it off you
[01:31.88]Don't run babygirl  don't run
[01:33.84]You gotta' face what you fighting  head on
[01:36.33]Only one thing I could say in truth
[01:38.59]You gotta' deal with the demons
[01:39.92]Before they deal with you
[01:41.58]How can she find peace in her mind when
[01:43.95]Love means returning to the scene of a crime
[01:46.24]I can feel it inside we've reopened wounds
[01:49.81]Every time we intertwine
[01:52.60]Such an evil design
[01:53.69]When you can't even
[01:54.65]Enjoy the sweetness you find
[01:56.40]Trying to see through the tears in your eyes
[01:58.81]And rebuild your shrine one piece at a time
[02:01.97]E & K made it all fade away
[02:04.46]Colors don't burn no more it's all gray
[02:06.93]Can't find heaven from within that shell
[02:08.88]But it's enough of a blessing
[02:10.29]If just not seen hell
[02:12.92]Constant inner dialog says
[02:14.29]Just end this roller coaster ride you're on
[02:16.71]Only one solution seems final
[02:19.12]Slide into a hole where your pain can't find you
[02:22.33]I wasn't there babygirl but I'm here
[02:24.88]I don't know what to say I just hear
[02:27.38]If there's one wish I could make true
[02:29.56]I would shoulder that pain and take it off you
[02:31.68]
[02:32.31]Don't run babygirl  don't run
[02:34.30]
[02:34.93]You gotta' face what you fighting  head on
[02:37.18]Only one thing I could say in truth
[02:39.55]You gotta' deal with the demons before they deal with you
[02:42.23]
[03:02.76]She said if I was meant to die he would've killed me
[03:05.50]There must be a reason that I still breathe
[03:08.00]I don't have the tools to rebuild me
[03:10.06]But I still believe that one day I could feel free
[03:12.62]
[03:13.24]And my body can be mine again
[03:15.61]My eyes can learn how to shine again
[03:17.97]My inner child won't have to hide and then
[03:20.47]When I'm strong then love could be invited in
[03:22.91]Sweet God that's all I ask  of thee
[03:25.72]I'm willing to give what you demand of me
[03:28.21]I'm learning to embrace the reality
[03:30.02]That life doesn't always turn out how it's planned to be
[03:32.83]
[03:33.39]I didn't deserve what was handed me
[03:35.64]Only one who can grant happiness is me
[03:38.32]What it takes for her to face the day
[03:40.14]I can only hope to be half that brave
[03:43.20]I wasn't there babygirl but I'm here
[03:45.64]I don't know what to say I just hear
[03:48.21]If there's one wish I could make true
[03:50.39]I would shoulder that pain and take it off you
[03:53.26]Don't run babygirl  don't run
[03:55.76]You gotta' face what you fighting  head on
[03:58.26]Only one thing I could say in truth
[04:00.56]You gotta' deal with the demons before they deal with you
