Give Her Back
I’ve stared in the face of death
I’ve felt the chill with every new breath
I’ve watched him take
The one who would make this heart break
He has almost taken me twice
I feel my soul caught in his vice
I don’t think he’ll ever let me go
Even if he does, I may never know
I wish he wouldn’t play around
If he wants me just strike me down
Don’t make me wait
I hate to wait
I’ve been ready to leave
Everyday it gets harder to breathe
There’s more to me than just my name
Cause that house and I are one and the same
Lost and empty inside
Only this dark secret we both hide
Still I stay as silent as that home
Quiet inside and all alone
I will make it back there one day
But it won’t be today
Seeing that house, tears fill my eyes
Knowing that I had to watch her die
I was so helpless, couldn’t lend a hand
She fell and I couldn’t help her stand
On a mountain falling from the top
I was forced to watch her clock stop
Her life was over, the end of her time
God why couldn’t have been mine?
Even trade, her life for me
I’d gladly take her place for free
Just to see her smile once more
Is good enough to trade for
So please take what you will
Take until you have had your fill
Then give her back to me
It’s just how it has to be
It’s worth it to me
Just give her back to me
