For a girl, feeling useless
And empty inside
Hoping you'll show us
That beauty you hide
The big orange flowerpiece
Filling your hair
Big, but not covering
That look of despair
Your eyes full of grief
Misery and pain
Ending up lonely
Over and over again
The big yellow chain
Around your neck
Big, but not big enough
To cover that wreck
Your eyes full of shyness
Hurt, loss and sorrow
Not looking as if better things
Will happen tomorrow
Dear girl, don't feel lonesome
Don't throw out your life
Let those big blue eyes shine
Let go of that knife
Five small fingers and a palm
Filled with cuts and bruises
Scrapes and grazes up the arm
It's the physical pain she chooses
Take my hand
We'll make it, I swear
And anytime you need it
My shoulder 's also there....
