Close this relationship but be with the child Don't ignore the signs That's right, give them our future Take it Shivering she awakes in a cold sweat Terrified so she speaks under her breath Makes her feet cry for help, she's a real mess That's a sign of distress, Ma, listen to her Heart beats working overtime in her chest Scared stiff from approaching footsteps Ignoring the stains on her torn dress Come now, Ma, listen to her How could you put your own child in danger And turn around and take the words of a stranger You didn't want to face the facts so you blamed her Too late, Ma, you should've listened to her Gone, she's asleep, finally She's at peace with the angels Gone, out of reach, finally Soul's at peace with the angels She faded like a delicate flower Tried to wash away the shame in the shower Defending him left her feeling overpowered You were wrong, Ma, you didn't listen to her It was there in the words of the letter Had you read it maybe things would be better You let her down and I won't let you forget her Save your tears, Ma, you should've listened to her How could you put your own child in danger And turn around and take the words of a stranger You didn't want to face the facts so you blamed her Save your tears, Ma, you didn't listen to her Gone, she's asleep, finally She's at peace with the angels Gone, out of reach, finally Soul's at peace with the angels Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Gone, she's asleep, finally She's at peace with the angels Gone, out of reach, finally Soul's at peace with the angels Gone, she's asleep, finally She's at peace with the angels Gone, out of reach, finally Soul's at peace with the angels Gone, she's asleep, finally She's at peace with the angels Gone, out of reach, finally Soul's at peace with the angels Gone, she's asleep, finally She's at peace with the angels Gone, out of reach, finally Soul's at peace with the angels
