Down Will Come Baby -

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!
