Baby, you’re like a house of cards
Crumbling under my touch,
Falling to the earth
Rejected by the sky
And it’s just too much,
To bare, to carry, to know
Inside your fragile soul;
And I’m not picking up the pieces,
Not this time!
Done my penance under your watch,
And now I am finally free;
So you’ll be like Humpty Dumpty
Fractured in a forever state,
Fallen off your high horse
And feeling the pain;
I’ll be the strong warrior
Just marching away,
Following the sunshine
Into my new day
