Following a gravel road all the way downtown
Walking alongside Carey, amazed her smile stuck around
I know how much she hates it here
Trying to escape what was once her innocence she held dear
A small girl thinking it was love when all he wanted was what he saw
I should've known better than to keep her from getting caught
But from deep inside of her shaken body she screams out
She wants a child more than life itself she says out loud
She wants to be the mom her own mother never was
I know where she's coming from, and I know it's love
But thank God for Eric who brings Carey back to life
From what I was hearing I doubted she was ever alive
He cried out that he was only eighteen and in a few months he would be a father
Maybe when the baby is born the whole fire will be calmer
But what do you do when a small girl thinks she's in love?
What happens when all she wants to do is love?
What happens to a young girl who can barely stay alive
And the only thing that could save her is the one thing she wants more than life
