painting promises - dear gloria lyrics
a story about a shot in the dark
a man and woman with bright red spark
from the beginning
she knew what she was giving
it was nothing but her lonely heart
girl i wish there was a way
for me to take away the pain
but you know
i can’t stay
i promised her everything would be okay
but with grim eyes she’d see me
as i looked away
oh father, please tell me now
what should i do
when these drugs start to fade
(she’s still too young for you)
please don’t take her with you
take my life in her place
girl i wish there was a way
for me to take away the pain
but you know
i can’t stay
now their eyes all, but grey
slowly close and pray
please take her with you
it’s a slim chance she’ll make it through
it’s a slim chance, she’ll make it
you can’t make me let go of this hope
there’s a chance i’m willing to take
father god oh i beg won’t you please
save this life that you’re willing to take
she will make it through
girl i wish there was a way
for me to take away the pain
but you know
i can’t stay
