I want to stop my crying I want to stop my crying But she's lying there dying How can I live when you see what I've done? How can I live when you see what I've done? What can I do if she dies? What can I do if she dies? What can I do if she's lost? Just the thought fills my heart with Pink Frost I thought I was dreaming - So I didn't heed her screaming I'm so scared I'm so scared She won't move and I'm holding her head She won't move and I'm holding her head She's lost...Bye Bye Bye She's lost...Bye Bye Bye She's lost...Bye Bye Bye Pink frost...Bye Bye Bye I'm really not lying I'm so scared I'll have to stop my crying Now she's dead What can I do if she dies? What can I do if she dies? What can I do if she's lost? Just the thought fills my heart with Pink Frost (Oh no!)
