Darlin'

I see this beauty,
As a thing of passion; not prejudice,
My eyes the follow every move you make,
Saving it for the future that lies ahead.

I hear every word you speak,
I know every thought you'll ever think,
I feel every movement you make,
I'll remember everything that you feel.

As I watch you behind these darkened eyes,
I see how you disguise yourself,
Now don't be so disgraced; show yourself to me,
I won't judge and I won't make assumptions.

I'll leave that to the others in this world,
They'll make me smile as I watch them bring you down,
Crushed underneath their penetrating gaze,
Crumpled like a piece of paper in the trash.

Now you’re not on top of the world anymore; are you?
You don't feel quite as high and mighty,
You were nothing more than the rest of us in the first place,
The world doesn't live to please you darlin'.

You seem so down in the dirt,
Has everything fallen apart?
Do you feel like giving up?
Oh, what’s wrong, dear one?

I'll be the person to bring you down,
To dig your grave and push you in,
Crush your dreams into the dust around your feet,
'Cause darlin' you are nothing compared to me.
