&quot; You know my head&#039;s too soft and my lifes to hard.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We&#039;re all a little broken. We&#039;re all a little twisted. We&#039;re all less than we could be or want to be. &quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;a good woman will pick you apart<br /> a box full of suggestions for your possible heart<br /> and you may be offended. and you may be afraid<br /> but don&#039;t walk away, don&#039;t walk away&quot;

I know there's chains wrapped around your body

why do you think you are nobody?

I've found you here inside this cave

saying there's no way you can ever be saved

Did you even try to be brave?

Why do you sit, crouching in the dark

when your only intention is to depart?

Your nothing but skin and bone

all broken and alone

your heart turned into stone

I know I could save you,if I really tried

but you are destined to meet your own demise.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
