I tried to save a girl I truly loved[00:00:17]

And didn't quite know how to help her[00:00:20]

So now she's sleeping as her parents up above[00:00:26]

Cry over things that they can't tell her[00:00:29]

And when I did my good deed[00:00:35]

I thought I'd feel unbroken gladness[00:00:37]

But standing in the street alone[00:00:44]

I just felt sinking sadness[00:00:47]

Girl your dad will not us bless[00:00:53]

So hang up your veil and dress[00:00:57]

Look at me and take one guess[00:01:02]

Where this best-intentioned love will lead us[00:01:06]

I once felt a feeling fully through[00:01:12]

Though I knew I shouldn't feel it[00:01:14]

Because to act on it I'd be a person[00:01:20]

Who should be slapped into a straitjacket[00:01:23]

So every time it comes around[00:01:29]

I just let it die inside me[00:01:32]

You said I only come around[00:01:38]

Because I just need you to hide me[00:01:40]

So we knelt in those dead w**ds[00:01:46]

Sticks and sharp rocks cutting into our knees[00:01:51]

And I thought that we would freeze[00:01:56]

But there was just too much warm blood in our bodies[00:02:00]

I'm not going to make you take the pills[00:02:06]

Though you should really think about it[00:02:08]

The fire by which we both were almost killed[00:02:14]

Glowed so beautiful don't doubt it[00:02:18]

But we have to make a choice now[00:02:24]

Can we glow without it[00:02:26]

There's a space I tried to fill[00:02:32]

But I'm seeing now I never will[00:02:36]

You fly around while I stand still[00:02:40]

Until I slowly just get smaller and smaller[00:02:45]

I tried to save a girl I truly loved[00:02:50]

And I never would desert her[00:02:53]

But we both found out that I was dreaming[00:02:59]

Of the day I thoroughly could hurt her[00:03:02]

And I saw myself inside her eyes[00:03:08]

This shrinking would-be savior[00:03:11]

Resented her for never needing help[00:03:17]

And couldn't wait just to betray her[00:03:20]

So we drove back to her place[00:03:25]

From the temporary home that we had made[00:03:30]

And I stepped back into the street[00:03:34]

Feeling the fullest moment of my life[00:03:39]

Slowly shrink away from me[00:03:53]

With my good deed[00:04:09]
