I think the God who shaped the earth Finally made one mistake ‘Cause my heart’s too soft for this world It bruises at the slightest weight I cannot hold love quietly It spills from every seam And I was never built to be The bright-eyed beauty in the scene I’m the girl who watches silently And breaks at what she sees Every cruel thing cuts right through me Like winter through the trees WEEPING GIRL… WEEPING GIRL… Why do you choose the ones you always lose? WEEPING GIRL… WEEPING GIRL… Why do you love like there’s nothing to lose? And my eyes, like the rivers, never run dry I cry and moan but no one arrives At least no one who stays Father, if You’re really there Why was I born this way? My heart creaks open like an old screen door For every soul that leaves And every person I have ever loved Walks out and takes a piece of me WEEPING GIRL… WEEPING GIRL… Why do you choose the ones you always lose? WEEPING GIRL… WEEPING GIRL… Why do you ache for what won’t ache for you? If it’s all the same to You I’d like to lie down in those green pastures You promised to the weak And close my eyes beneath the daisies Finally fall asleep Maybe then my tears will mean something Maybe the earth will drink them deep Maybe my body can feed the grass And something beautiful can grow from me I scream and scream but cannot wake The hearts of those who swear they love me I bleed devotion from both hands While they sleep so easily WEEPING GIRL… WEEPING GIRL… Why do you choose the ones you can’t survive? WEEPING GIRL… WEEPING GIRL… Why do you keep the dead things alive? They say it’s better to have loved and lost Than never love at all But honestly I’d rather be untouched Than watch another person go You are my deepest wound The longest shadow I have known And I hate that even now I’d still answer if you called WEEPING GIRL… WEEPING GIRL… Why do you choose the ones you always lose? WEEPING GIRL… WEEPING GIRL… Why does your heart sing funeral blues?
