"I'm never going to cry again" It was the first lie that she told me But what could i say except "I wish you never had to in the first place"? And even though you feel small and scared I hope you know I need you more than air She fights a losing battle that I can't even bear to watch And I'd tear out my eyes (but) my hands are tied I cannot save her She wonders what she has to do To make all her trying worth somethign to All those frowning "strangers" that somehow know her name And all those silent partners who'd never take the blame But I guess one finger is easier than five to say goodbye Cuz she fights a losing battle that I can't even bear to watch And I'd tear out my eyes (but) my hands are tied I cannot Cuz she fights a losing battle that I can't even bear to watch And I'd tear out my eyes (but) my hands are tied I cannot save her She swore she'd never cry again She swore she'd never cry again She swore she'd never cry again Cuz she fights a losing battle that I can't even bear to watch And I'd tear out my eyes (but) my hands are tied I cannot Cuz she fights a losing battle that I can't even bear to watch And I'd tear out my eyes (but) my hands are tied I cannot save her
