Helpless

In front of me stands a helpless little girl
I asked ...come down
No reply as I turned and thought
So shallow, dismantled displaced but unequaled
Why?, she said, because I don’t know you
I just sighed and turned and thought
She’s helpless, so clueless, bruised but still gorgeous
Why?, she said, because I don’t know you

A favor, I asked
I need answers that I know you have
Just a favor , I asked
now please come down, I need your help
There’s something that I need to know
She just laughed and I just sighed
so I smiled and just walked away

What I wouldn’t give to stay

She just laughed, I just sighed
and in my mind, I cried

You know why I’m here, you know who I am
you’re the one who brought me here
I’m the one who put you up there
Little one, I need your help
I have so many questions
I know you have the answers

Still she smiled and all the while
in mind, I kept crying, seeing her like this,
oblivious to everything, unable to comprehend
who I am and what she has done
So I tried to laugh with her
and I tried to smile with her
but that’s not why I’m here and that’s not helping things
and I still need the answers to all that’s
eating me and destroying everything that I’ve came to be
I’ve made mistakes and I need your help
I can’t fix any of this on my own

Now, please come down, let me take you home
I’ve got some things that I need to know
Because if this keeps up and you don’t come down
I can’t keep making excuses for your childish pranks
and I’m going home and can’t keep going like this

I have nothing left and I need some answers
and I’m on the brink of climbing that tree and throwing you down
and smashing what’s left of your ugliness into the ground
and if I don’t get my answers, I’ll keep no regrets
knowing you’ll never do this again
at least not to me, not from this tree
‘cause you’ve killed everything inside of me
and I can’t live like this
I can’t stand to see you like this
Don’t make me do this

A favor, mother, please
One favor, don’t let me walk away
I need answers that I know you have
A favor, my mother
Don’t let me walk away
I can help you down, I’ve been in that tree
Even though you never knew,
you were the one who saved me
