Splinter - Little Match Girl lyrics

rate me

See the little girl all alone<br />

Not facing anyone?<br />

Well she comes out here<br />

In the night sometimes, all alone<br />

She's wondering,<br />

How everything can fall apart so fast<br />

And how funny it seems,<br />

That yesterday was never meant to last.<br />

She walks out on the corner<br />

Steps right up to a man who knows her name<br />

Thought that she was older<br />

And thinks he's gonna take her home to burn.<br />

Spends her days walking in the park<br />

With the feeling of the sun & the wind in her hair<br />

Doesn't like the touch of the cold hand,<br />

His breath or that frozen stare.<br />

And she'd wash everyday<br />

If the soap could take away the pain<br />

But the stains don't ever go away<br />

Or get clean<br />

Doesn't wanna go there<br />

I'll take a trip to someplace far away<br />

Where no-one seems to know her<br />

And daddy can't take her home to burn.<br />

Every morning running circles 'round my head<br />

He keeps chasing me,<br />

It's sickening & sickening...<br />

So sick<br />

And there's one more thing<br />

That I don't understand<br />

No,no,no ... it must be someone else<br />

I need to know!<br />

Oh god I remember<br />

No no daddy,<br />

Please let me close my eyes<br />

Only wishing it was over<br />

Now no-one's gonna take her...<br />

..Threw away all her matches
