lyrics

Sara’s lying on the floor and she’s crying
What a hard hard lesson to learn when you’re only nine
And she’s scared so scared so scared of everything
That she’d break her own back just to never put a toe out of line
Tell her you need her and she’s wrapped around your finger
Feed her a line and she will beg for more
She knows that she’s not worth the time you give her
But she can’t stand the thought of you walking out the door

But she smiles when she’s sad
Just so you won’t feel uncomfortable
And she laughs when it hurts
When the words won’t come and the world’s caught in her throat
And she’s beautiful
She don’t know it
But she is

Sara’s lying on her back and she’s lying
This isn’t what love feels like - it’s just a way to save herself
Cause she’s scared still scared so scared of everything
That she’s got her heart, her hopes, her dreams tucked away on a shelf
Tell you you love her and she’s putty in your fingers
Feed her some guilt and she will beg for more
She knows that she’s not worth the time you give her
But she can’t stand the thought of you not loving her anymore

And still - there’s a small spark of hope in her eyes
And still - there’s a piece of her heart deep inside
Yes a piece of her heart that she hides
Fighting its way to the light
