Lyrics
Lye
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A little girl sits in her new dress
Alone on the cold concrete front steps
And cries to herself, wondering when
Or if, she'll ever see her father again
Why don't we try harder than last time
To dry our eyes and smile
Someday, oh I'll make time
Yeah maybe, but not tonight
I'm trying as hard as I
Can to believe you
Don't lie
A killer without a conscience cries
Alone in his cold bedroom at night
Perpetually asking why, oh why
Am I so lonely, while he sharpens his knives
Why don't we try harder than last time
To dry our eyes and smile
Someday, oh I'll make time
Yeah maybe, but not tonight
I'm trying as hard as I
Can to believe you
Don't lie
You don't get it
This is it, your last chance to dance
You don't get it, no
A father who left his daugher's side
And slowly exhales for the last time
Someday, oh I'll make time
Yeah maybe, but not tonight
I'm trying as hard as I
Can to believe you
Don't lie
Someday, oh I'll make time
Yeah maybe, but not tonight
I'm trying as hard as I
Can to believe you
I don't believe you
I want to believe you
Don't lie
Dry your eyes and smile
