Forever Young

 Fresh tears fall down
The young girl's cheeks
It's just so hard for her
She doesn't know how

Why'd daddy leave
If he loved us so much
Did daddy leave
Because of me

She tries to stop
Here comes the boy
She can't hide from him
She will not hide

She will not fear
He does not leave
She will not scream
And he never lied
This girl does not fear or cry

There is no denial
Or screams of pain
As he waits for the darkness
Promising to pull him under

This girl will not tell
Of the pain she felt that day
Or fight and cry
For one lost boy
From a fallen and forgotten dream

He came to her
He sat and saw her tears
He'd hold her close
They'd cry together
All in some forgotten dream

And as they grow
The secrets show
Fresh tears fall down
The young woman's cheeks

That boy did not grow
As the young girl did
That man never comes
Back to her side

He fell into the
Deepest, endless sleep
He could not stay up
To think of her

She loved the cold
And continued to weep
For the one young man
who ever cared
The one who thought of her
Late at night


When she ran
She wept
For the young man
Who lived to die
