Babygirl

There's big pieces of a life she can't remember

Her mind shuts down, it's trying to protect her

Might be for the best to forget but it seems like

They always reappear when she least expects

Late nights we lay awake, drowning in the lake that pours out of her face

Here's late but she's still not safe

Memories live out in the time, in the place

The way he smelled, the way he smiled

The evil she even recognized as a child

Hand on her throat, sting of a fist

Instead of her first kiss she got this

Shameful feeling, painful secret

Lonely knowin' that nobody would believe it

Every wound that escapes her time capsule

Hurts like the day it was born and it's brand new

I wasn't there babygirl but I'm here

I don't know what to say I just hear

If there's one wish I could make true

I would shoulder that pain and take it off you

Don't run babygirl, don't run

You gotta' face what you fighting, head on

Only one thing I could say in truth

You gotta' deal with the demons before they deal with you
