Pining for the touch of a hand
The softness of a long awaited kiss
Longing for the warmth of a hug
For the smallest glimmer of hope
I know you can be better than this
So I bide my time and so I bite my tongue
Wanting the life we share in my head
We shared an hour all alone. Greet the sun with me. Greet the sun...
How did I get here? This isn’t my place
I used to be stronger, pain written on my face
The daily struggle with thoughts of escape
And down will come baby, cradle and all
Stuck in this limbo and I’m losing my mind
I'm over your games and we've tried so hard
I know what I need and it's down below
I'm not even sure what I'm missing, but I know it's not this
I've gotta gather the courage to take back my home;
Two or three storeys and some broken bones
If I'm being honest, I saw myself as a woman of the world
To travel abroad and break bread with bros
To be this young with an old soul's glow
I never pegged myself as the naive type
How did I get you so wrong?
Down Will Come Baby
I know I shouldn’t be here, too weak to deny this fate
He thinks he can break me, he is truly mistaken
I will break out and remember who I was before us
And down will come baby cradle and all
Free from your clutches, I can finally reap what this life will offer me
Apart from jealousy and fear
I want to know joy, and I'm not just talking about a chick in daytime TV scenes
I threw away 5 awful years and it's sick how good the outside feels
Left alone day in, day out, my guilt; the lifeforce to his clout
Yet I know one day a time will come when I know it's not my fault
I'll no longer be here, only I can deny this fate
He thought he could break me and in truth he was right
But no matter how shaken, I will break from this cot
And down will come baby, cradle and all!
