i tried to save a girl i truly loved and didn't
quite know how to help her.
so now she's sleeping as her parents up
above cry over things that they can't
hell her. and when i did my good deed i
thought i'd feel unbroken gladness, but
standing in the street alone i just felt
sinking sadness. girl you dad will not
us bless so take off you veil and
dress. look at me and take on guess
where this best intentioned love will
lead us i once felt a feeling fully
throught, though i knew i shouldn't feel
it, because to act on it i'd be a person
who should be slapped into a
straitjacket. so every time it comes
around i just let it die inside me you
said, "i only come around because i
just need you to hide me" so we knelt
in those dead weeds, sticks and sharp
rocks cutting into our knees. and i
thought that we would freeze, but there
was just tooo much warm bloood in our
bodies i'm not going to make you take the pills,
though you should really think
about it the fire by which we both
were almost killed glowed so
beautiful-don't doubt it - but we have
to make a choice now; can we glow
without it? there's a space i tried to fill
but i'm seeing now i never will. you fly
around while i stand still, until i slowly
just get smaller and smaller. i tried to
save a girl i truly loved and i never
would desert her, but we both found
out that i was dreaming of the day i
thoroughly could hurt her. and i saw
myself inside her eyes; this shringking
would-be savior resented her for never
needing him and couldn't wait just to
betray her. so we drove back to her
place from the temporary home that we
had made, and i stepped back into the
street, feeling the fullest moment of my
life slowly shrink away from me
