Crestfallen

Crestfallen (She Doesn't Mean to)

Soft is the sight
of her hope
cascading down her cheeks
winter breeze
chills the skirt she wore
and as her knees
slowly, defeated, fall to the floor

and she wonders why you never wonder
she wonders why you never ask
all she wants to tell you
whats in her head
whats in her heart
whats wrong- everything.

But if this is how it will be
then come back and love her another time
a time when you won't run
when she needs you most.

When she says she wants someone to love
I hope you know, she really means you
And when she breaks down and lets you down
I hope you know, that she doesn't mean to.
And when she says she needs something more
I hope you know, she really means you
And when you always leave her lying there
She hopes you don't really mean to.

Fall into flight
over clouds over hills
over her clouds over her hills
hills of emotions
rise and fall like rain
in her heart
She just wants to know why...
she just wants to know...
she just wants to...

When she says she wants someone to love
I hope you know, she really means you
And when she breaks down and lets you down
I hope you know, that she doesn't mean to.
And when she says she needs something more
I hope you know, she really means you
And when you always leave her lying there
She hopes you don't really mean to.

scatter of twilight
her hero of the sky is broken
quietly shattered
there you go and there she goes
with Norwegian blue eyes
she walks on
a weakness too immense
so she cries
and cries on because she can
because she ever will.

And when she says she wants someone to love
I hope you know, she really means you...
