And the fear upon my shoulder
And my body getting older
Will he want me when he’s sober
Close my eyes and bend me over
What was I thinking
What was I thinking
What was I thinking
Dear God, can you lift me up
Can you take me higher
Dear God, can you lift me up
Keep me from the fire
And all the neighbors whisper isn’t it a shame
That little girl we knew has surely gone insane
Now my teeth are getting longer
And my will is getting stronger
When she’s wilting will you want her
Do your worst and roll me over
What was I thinking
What was I thinking
What was I thinking
Dear God, can you lift me up
Can you take me higher
Dear God, can you lift me up
Keep me from the fire
And all the neighbors whisper isn’t it a shame
That little girl we knew has clearly gone insane
I just wanna go to heaven
I don’t wanna stay in hell
I just wanna stay in heaven
And I’ll be well
I’ll be well
And the fear upon my shoulder
And my body getting colder
When she’s crying will you hold her
Wake me up let this be over
Dear God, can you lift me up
Can you take me higher
Dear God, can you lift me up
Keep me from the fire
Dear God, can you lift me up
Can you take me higher
Dear God, can you lift me up
Keep me from the fire
And all the neighbors run and hide their kids away
That little girl they knew has surely gone insane
