She tumbled from the sky that night br White washed and too familiar br Holding cotton candy dreams br In her hand br Timidly, she set down br And begged the earth br To take her in br Even then br Her heart just wouldn’t br Let go br The sky br br *** br (She could still hear the echoes br Apple pie lies and emptiness br Hopeless, she couldn't bear to listen) br *** br br She convinced herself not to cry br Wanted but unacceptable now br Rejecting the memories that br Lingered behind br She smiled, as the night br Breathed her in br Just when br A single stubborn tear br Fell from br Her eye br br br And I.... br I wasn't brave enough to ask her why.
