Given Up on Me
(Told from the perspective of Princess from Girl in Red)
I used to be weak and small All I ever did was fall I wanted a fairy tale Even though I always fail I think I can do it
(Told from the perspective of Princess from Girl in Red)
I used to be weak and small All I ever did was fall I wanted a fairy tale Even though I always fail I think I can do it
A stroke of lightning Everything is on fire What could we have done?
War Started by a single shot No good or evil Only humans fighting
Thrown off a shooting star, I drifted through space I watched stars pass by, but none offered me their light Then I found your star with its pale glow I basked in its light, and offered what I could of my own
Every time I make a mistake That mistake creates another vulture circling Hanging there, waiting To remind me of that time I was less than I could be
I took roots and stood still allowing the world to pass me by Until I looked up one night and saw a shooting star fly by
Your humor used to bring people together You spoke of family, of kids growing up in tough times We laughed with you about it Never knowing with whom we were laughing
(Told from the perspectives of Toad and Moon from Girl in Red)
(Toad) I never knew how to be strong I always thought there was something wrong with me, but she made me see And now the only person who believed in me is gone
(Moon) I believe in you too I only wish I knew what to do I'm always too confused To be of any use But I'll try to be here for you
(For My Uncle Tommy)
You closed your eyes and spread your wings But you didn't fly away I know why; you were afraid
I know it's hard when I go away It'd be easier if I could always stay But here's a promise to you I'll always come back for you
