Blood is thicker than water
Blood is thicker than water
As a little girl's father liked to say
Yet the girl can't help but think
What if a heart can change it's way
Little Girl's father leaves to start annew
Leaving the two year old he already knew
Now not so little, Little girl learns the truth
Her father had another little girl he choosed
Filled with grief and rage
Little Girl looks for escape
Escape is found in a dangerous way
Until a new man makes the hurt go away
Love unconditional, feet planted firm
He lifts her up and Little Girl has a
Daddy once more
Years later, Little Girl is as happy as can be
When He returns full of promises and what could be
Still a little girl, she let's him in with open arms
Unaware of the awaiting harm
He screams and rages and leaves again
Leaving Little Girl abandoned and confused
Little Girl, Little Girl
To much for her heart to take
Broken Little Girl wound open anew
Who can she turn to?
Scared of the consequences for letting Him in
Little Girl refuses to be true
But now all that's left are the empty
Pill Tubes
Heaven or Hell awaits, Little Girl knows
But Hell would be better than being left alone
Almost gone, Little Girl braces for the dark eternity
Until she feels the embrace of the man who was Home Now Little Girl can live without being on the run
Piecing back together, Little Girls answers the question from her beginning
The Heart Always Decides the Ending
