lyrics

CARRIE
written by Dan Blakeslee

I watch through my window, as you walk through the snow.

Your head is hung heavy now, wherever you go.

I would do most anything , to get you to stop.

Instead of fighting off hits, you begin to drop.



Carrie, don’t you fall apart.

Carrie, don’t you fall apart.



A stained glass window above your head,

The ceiling is dropping too fast, your powers are dead.

Your interests have been dragged through the mud,

Don’t know which is worse.

I’d get the strength to stand up, if you don’t put me down first.



Carrie, don’t you fall apart.

Carrie, don’t you fall apart.



You said goodbye to all of your friends.

You didn’t think you needed them then.

Carrie, why did you leave?



The scars have begun to heal upon your wrists.

Unpleasant words escape from your lips where I had once kissed.

Carrie take that needle away from your arm.

These drugs will do you no good and just cause you harm.



Carrie, don’t you fall apart.

Carrie, don’t you fall apart.
