Prayer for America
Helen's charity single supporting the Red Cross after the tragic events of 9/11
Twisted
Can’t believe you got to me
The way you did
All the lies you spun to me
And all you hid
How your words played on my mind
Deep inside
I never dreamed you'd take me on this heartless ride
Now I’m broken, speechless,
helpless, frozen
You drew me in
You inhaled every breath from me
You put me down
Taking pleasure from the mess
You made me
Your love was cruel
I can’t believe you ever
cared about me
I’m running far as possible from you
I’m seeing clearly for the first time
In a while
Finding inner strength to live
Without your smile
Moving on with no one standing in my way
And now I realise I never had to stay
Now I’m fragile, half gone
Crushed but I’m strong
You drew me in
You inhaled every breath from me
You put me down
Taking pleasure from the mess
You made me
Your love was cruel
I can’t believe you ever
cared about me
I’m running far as possible from you
