Ever since the day they took the body away Her hopes fell silent She bit the apple and was left for dead Defiant She was a fuse that broke the dark and lit the way She meant every word she said She's the closing that he couldn't find In dark nights. Saying "All you've got to be is stronger than me And all I've left to do is confide in you." Small hands. Wet eyes Have been forgotten Drowned in dust Deaf ears. Closed mouths Is where we lost them Long enough They've been listening for a lifetime But still don't understand That all they ever do is pretend She said "Time is not a river but a boat lost at see That comes full circle back to me That comes full circle back to me." And now she carries the weight "All you've got to be is stronger than me And all I've left to do is confide in you" "Time is not a river but a boat lost at see That comes full circle back to me."
