hey your glass is empty
it's a hell of a long way home.
why don't you let me take you?
it's no good to go alone.
I never would have opened up,
but you seemed so real to me.
and after all the bullshit I've heard,
it's refreshing not to see.
that I don't have to pretend,
she doesn't expect it from me.
so don't tell me I
have never been good to you
don't tell me I have never been there for you
don't tell me why nothing is
good enough.
hey little girl
would you like some candy?
your mamma said it's ok.
the door is open come on outside
"not I can't come out today"
it's not the wind that cracked your shoulder
and threw you to the ground.
who's there that makes you so afraid,
your shaken to the bone.
you know I don't understand
you deserve so much more than this.
So don't tell me why
he's never been good to you
don't tell me why
he's never been there for you
don't tell me why
you've never been
good enough.
oh and just let me try
and I will be good to you
just let me try
and I will be there for you
I'll show you why
you're so much more than
good enough.
