Baby, You Survived

Baby, can't you cry, or is she ain't letting you? That eyelash in you eye ain't what's upsetting you Though she's dead and out of sight She still throws your shoes across the room at night And she still says you're cheap and in your sleep sets the sheets alight So baby, don't you cry, she ain't worth it, and besides, You're too old for lullabies So baby, don't you sink back down that corridor Thake a breath and think what you've been running for 'Cause she can't help you now All she can do is sulk around your house And show up in your eyes when you're surprised that you're happy now So be glad and proud, 'cause, baby, you're allowed And her shadow disappears when you shine a light down the years And torch that hallway of souvenirs So lately you and I have spoken of marrying So it's time to say goodbye to that bag of broken things you're carrying *Cause this time you can't hide All you can do is trust her loving side And walk on down the aisle with a smile and her voice inside So still and quiet Saying, "Baby, you survived"
