I'm sick of counting on my ribs Hollowed cheeks, I'm paper thin Making sure I'm never full So, I can stay this beautiful Traded all my happiness For nothing but emptiness I'm body checking off the days Young and yet my body aches I don't know how much I can take I can't go on living this way It's time for her to fly away Sing something soft and slow A song that she used to know Lay her down in a bed of roses And make sure that lace dress fits Make sure her mama knows She's taking the pain when she goes It's only goodbye for a moment So, go on and close that lid Say "Goodnight", and just let her sleep No need to cry for the girl I used to be Make the coffin big enough To fit the boy she used to love Who never loved her half as much And tell her that her work is done Put the daisies on her chest And lay there good, rest Oh, sing something soft and slow A song that she used to know Lay her down in a bed of roses And make sure that lace dress fits Make sure her mamma knows She's taking the pain when she goes It's only goodbye for a moment So, go on and close that lid Say "Goodnight", and just let her sleep No need to cry for the girl I used to be
