[Verse 1]
Helpless, she lies across the stairs
Haunting your days, consuming your prayers
There will be healing, but don't force this girl to stand
As she's counting the ceilings with pale voice and trembling hands
[Chorus]
You told me life was long, but now that it's gone
You find yourself on top as the leader of a flock
Called to be around for those below
[Verse 2]
Whispered notes from the piano in the corner of the room
Hold your throat, is that healing that you're hearing in my tune?
Wanting change, but loving her just as she lies
Is the burden of a man who's built his life on love
[Chorus]
You told me life was long, but now that it's gone
You find yourself on top as the leader of a flock
Called to be around for those below
[Bridge]
I'll be locked up and stored
In a lavender ward
'Cause my mind is just like hers
Just as broken, just as crippled, just as burned
Helpless, she lies across the stairs
Haunting your days, consuming your prayers
There will be healing, but don't force this girl to stand
As she's counting the ceilings with pale voice and trembling hands
[Chorus]
You told me life was long, but now that it's gone
You find yourself on top as the leader of a flock
Called to be around for those below
[Verse 2]
Whispered notes from the piano in the corner of the room
Hold your throat, is that healing that you're hearing in my tune?
Wanting change, but loving her just as she lies
Is the burden of a man who's built his life on love
[Chorus]
You told me life was long, but now that it's gone
You find yourself on top as the leader of a flock
Called to be around for those below
[Bridge]
I'll be locked up and stored
In a lavender ward
'Cause my mind is just like hers
Just as broken, just as crippled, just as burned
