She
She's been sleeping In other beds Not listening To those who mind She stuck around In dreams Not caring That they would mind They mind, they do They will find her soon She has lost your letter Before, you tried To admit your love But look at what's right She's wrong You know That she will always choose wrong She's been weeping In other rooms Not praying For those who wait And she stole around In shops Not wishing That they would wait They wait, they do They will stop her soon She has lost your lamp Before, you tried To cup her hand But look at what's wrong You're right You know That you will always choose her What does she deserve? Not this No, not this She's just surviving Thriving In the walls they place around Crying In the traps they toss around Put your arms around her waist She cannot hold on much longer Even though she knows You harbor A haven so divine
