She Cries the Quiete Lake - Absu

Little girl terrified She'd leave her room if only bruises would heal A home is no place to hide Her heart is breaking from the pain that she feels Every day is the same, she fights to find her way She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray She wonders why Does anyone ever hear her when she cries? Today she's turning sixteen Everyone's singing, but she can't seem to smile They never get past arm's length How could they act like everything is alright? Pulling down her long sleeves To cover up the memories, the scars leave She says, maybe making me bleed Would be the answer that could wash the slate clean Every day is the same, she fights to find her way She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray She wonders why Does anyone ever hear her when she cries? This is the dark before the dawn, the storm before the peace Don't be afraid, 'cause seasons change And God is watching over you He hears you Every day is the same, she fights to find her way She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray She'll be just fine 'Cause I know He hears her when she cries Every day is the same, she fights to find her way She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray She'll be just fine 'Cause I know He hears her when she cries She'll be just fine 'Cause I know He hears her when she cries

Oh I know that you're alive & well I just needed time to tell you long, long ago That when we were young & beautiful we took the world & held it on our own Let it go And if it's you that makes the first mistake then it's me that makes the last And if it's you that makes the first mistake then it's me that makes the last And as time goes on I'll think of you when everything we built was made to fall to the ground Throw a penny down the wishing well & watch the time tick on to something new I just wish that you were here And if it's you that makes the first mistake then it's me that makes the last And if it's you that makes the first mistake then it's me that makes the last Tied up she took him to the lake to watch him drown Tied up she took him to the lake to watch him drown Tied up she took him to the lake to watch him drown Tied up, he was all tied up woah And if it's you that makes the first mistake then it's me that makes the last And if it's you that makes the first mistake then it's me that makes the last Tied up she took him to the lake to watch him drown Tied up she took him to the lake to watch him drown Tied up she took him to the lake to watch him drown Tied up, he was all tied up woah Well if you follow behind me then stick to the road There's death on the sidewalks at night on these streets you know With each step just watch where you go And cradle your hopes & your dreams if you love her She took him to the lake to drown him in his lust Follow behind me & watch where you go She's everything I hate she's everything I love Follow behind me & watch where you go She took him to the lake to drown him in his lust Follow behind me & watch where you go She's everything I hate she's everything I love I needed something to feel, I needed something to feel now she's gone I needed something to feel oh oh, I needed something to feel now she's gone You got me hanging by a lonely, I'm hanging by a lonely rope You got me hanging by a lonely, I'm hanging by a lonely rope Lights on the horizon it ain't what you know The danger ahead is disguised as the one you love With each day just watch where you go Don't fall into something you're climbing back out of She took him to the lake to drown him in his lust Follow behind me & watch where you go She's everything I hate she's everything I love I needed something to feel, I needed something to feel now she's gone I needed something to feel oh oh, I needed something to feel now she's gone You got me hanging by a lonely, I'm hanging by a lonely rope You got me hanging by a lonely, I'm hanging by a lonely rope I'll hold on now & I'll jump when you say "I never even loved you that much anyway" And it's all gone & you're out on your own I'm singing all these words & hope you're singing along I'll hold on now & I'll jump when you say "I never even loved you that much anyway" And it's all gone & you're out on your own I'm singing all these words & hope you're singing along I'll hold on now I needed something to feel, I needed something to feel now she's gone I needed something to feel oh oh, I needed something to feel now she's gone I'm singing all these words & hope you're singing alone Sing with me
