Mia's Song.

I know you're petrified.
But you need to cast your doubts aside.

Lipstick smiles on a paper cup.
A spoonful of sugar you thought would cheer you up.

Just a little love, you deny you crave.
I know that's why you misbehave.

People hate the rules you bend.
Piss me off I'm still your friend.

Lonely girl, you want to cry.
I will sing you a lullaby.

Lay your head against my chest.
I won't share what you confessed.

Hide your face behind your fringe.
Your parents think that you're unhinged.

They can't see past your disguise.
When I do, you run and hide.

You cloak your eyes in big dark shades.
I'm the guy you can't evade.

But I can't watch you fall apart.
Not when you're a piece of art.

I already know the things you hide.
The good and bad that you provide.

On the deadly waves that we both ride.
I won't let our raft subside.

Sticks and stones they break your bones.
Sharp words you spit that you bemoan.

You regret the shots you've blown.
So do I, you're not alone.

Grate your fingers through you hair.
I can feel you're in despair.

I know the poison that you chased.
Sell your jewellery for a taste.

If I could...

I would erase the past you hate.

But life's too short, please don't let it waste.
