Care

Care by Elise Hindmarsh
For all the hopeless romantics who still believe despite all the contrary

I cannot be jaded
My dreams will not be faded
Like the picture in the frame
I will not be defeated
Just because I’m no longer needed
I will not accept that claim

I still believe in miracles
In the rainbows thru the rain
I still believe in magic
That illusions can remain
But this ephemeral disposition
Leaves me broken, yet the same hope lingers in the air
I blame the girl who cannot help but
care

Your monument is priceless
I’m added to the nice list
Of towers bound to fall
It hurts, to come down crashing
Without the arms to catch me
Down is your baby, cradle and all

But I still believe in lullabies
In whispers in the rain
I still believe in fairytales
With roses and champagne
But this ephemeral disposition
Leaves me broken, yet the same hope lingers in the air
I blame the girl who cannot help but
care

I once believed the rainbow
Had vanished in the rain
I once believed this crying
Would be dying done in vain
But this ephemeral disposition
Has left me groping with one hand reaching up the altar stairs
I cannot help but be a girl who
cares

I cannot help but be a girl who cares
