Splinter - Little Match Girl lyrics

See the little girl all alone

Not facing anyone?

Well she comes out here

In the night sometimes, all alone

She's wondering,

How everything can fall apart so fast

And how funny it seems,

That yesterday was never meant to last.

She walks out on the corner

Steps right up to a man who knows her name

Thought that she was older

And thinks he's gonna take her home to burn.

Spends her days walking in the park

With the feeling of the sun & the wind in her hair

Doesn't like the touch of the cold hand,

His breath or that frozen stare.

And she'd wash everyday

If the soap could take away the pain

But the stains don't ever go away

Or get clean

Doesn't wanna go there

I'll take a trip to someplace far away

Where no-one seems to know her

And daddy can't take her home to burn.

Every morning running circles 'round my head

He keeps chasing me,

It's sickening & sickening...

So sick

And there's one more thing

That I don't understand

No,no,no ... it must be someone else

I need to know!

Oh god I remember

No no daddy,

Please let me close my eyes

Only wishing it was over

Now no-one's gonna take her...

..Threw away all her matches
