[00:17.97]I tried to save a girl I truly loved
[00:21.03]And didn't quite know how to help her
[00:26.19]So now she's sleeping as her parents up above
[00:29.73]Cry over things that they can't tell her
[00:35.88]And when I did my good deed
[00:38.07]I thought I'd feel unbroken gladness
[00:44.91]But standing in the street alone
[00:47.28]I just felt sinking sadness
[00:53.01]Girl, your dad will not us bless
[00:57.48]So hang up your veil and dress
[01:02.01]Look at me and take one guess
[01:10.23]Where this best-intentioned love will lead us
[01:12.30]I once felt a feeling fully through
[01:15.12]Though I knew I shouldn't feel it
[01:20.40]Because to act on it I'd be a person
[01:23.49]Who should be slapped into a straitjacket
[01:29.91]So every time it comes around
[01:32.49]I just let it die inside me
[01:38.37]You said, "I only come around
[01:40.65]Because I just need you to hide me"
[01:46.98]So we knelt in those dead ****s
[01:51.60]Sticks and sharp rocks cutting into our knees
[01:58.74]And I thought that we would freeze
[02:00.48]But there was just too much warm blood in our bodies
[02:06.24]I'm not going to make you take the pills
[02:08.79]Though you should really think about it
[02:14.73]The fire by which we both were almost killed
[02:18.00]Glowed so beautiful, don't doubt it
[02:24.09]But we have to make a choice now
[02:26.37]Can we glow without it?
[02:32.01]There's a space I tried to fill
[02:36.45]But I'm seeing now I never will
[02:41.16]You fly around while I stand still
[02:44.61]Until I slowly just get smaller and smaller
[02:51.00]I tried to save a girl I truly loved
[02:54.03]And I never would desert her
[02:59.58]But we both found out that I was dreaming
[03:02.28]Of the day I thoroughly could hurt her
[03:08.85]And I saw myself inside her eyes
[03:12.81]This shrinking would-be savior
[03:17.70]Resented her for never needing help
[03:20.64]And couldn't wait just to betray her
[03:25.68]So we drove back to her place
[03:30.30]From the temporary home that we had made
[03:32.31]And I stepped back into the street
[03:40.83]Feeling the fullest moment of my life
[03:42.93]Slowly shrink away from me
[03:44.13]With my good deed
