Why can't you see
It was never meant to be
All this time is all a waste to me
It's gone nowhere
I see it in your eyes
All the lies and compromise to me
I see you talking and I never hear a word you say
There's something inside telling me
Don't waste another day
Waste another day away
In all my life
I wanted someone who
Looked at me as if I were a queen
(Repeat Chorus 2x's)She
calls out
to
you
From behind
sin's
doorway
Her 13 years have left her so calloused so diseased...
Oh
still
she's
begging
you
Like you wish your daughter would...
Half a world away
Betrayal
fills
her
eyes
It's the sick of the unkind years...
And scars start to form
A
tangled
web
of Shame
Across her bleeding, tortured flesh...
And you want more
to take her down with you,
beneath the crimson tide
Slip...silently...under...the...water
(remember no pain) Lost in the rapture
You're running fast from the past
But it's freeze framed...you can't see what's beyond.
Her voice keeps echoing...your name...you keep remembering.
The world so cold to you
You get what you gave
The world so cold it's
true
When the red...turns...to...grey
Chorus:
When she's on her knees...she's saying a prayer for me
And through the frenzied feed...she's saying a prayer for me
And though the waiting tide offered sanctuary...I know
She's saying a prayer for me
She just needed...someone to love her...
She just needed a kind word...
Crawling, calling across your memories.
Torture you.
