Hopeless Little Girl

Hopeless little girl

So that's it

You are packing away and leaving

No time to stop

Stop and think about the truth under our noses

How many years will you be gone?:

Hundreds? A millennia?

Ah, but we all know very well

You'll come back tomorrow

Full of sweets and lost the sour

But the flavor will come back at a later hour

Hopeless little girl

I've too much to say

But I know I will not speak these words any other day

About how many times I've cried at the thought of losing you

About how many times you left me thinking there was never a thing I could do

Hopeless little girl

Maybe you were right

I am a cruel coward

And so very often I would bite my tongue

But I had finally saved the blood loss

And started to blurt

All these words that hurt

I should have set in my teeth

So I wouldn't have said the wrong things

But I was also hurt as hell

And couldn't think to defend myself

Because I'd prove you right that I was your victim

Hopeless little girl

I never wanted you to be right

Nor did I want you to feel wrong

I wanted to love you with all my heart

But never knew where to start

Because my avoidance could never end

When you were by my side

And how wrong I felt when I wanted you to leave

But even now as I breathe

I just want you gone but somewhere safe

Where we can still be friends

Hopeless little girl

I know you are miserable

And there's only one way that we are able

To rid of our fights

And ever so harsh nights

And that's to part our ways

Until some future days

Because all I wanted was for you to be happy

And to see you smile

So we could forget these past deeds

And finally talk for awhile
