scene-shifter

Her feet were on the ground but her mind was screaming, "Get out!"
And her smiles driving wild everyone who's even in town
You know she loved out loud

Her hair was flowing crazy as she glowed in the sunlight
She's dancing, as the waves are crashing
Setting off their fight or flight
Downright too pretty to hide

And, oh
She's a beautiful saint
Oh
Does things so no one else can feel her pain
And, oh
I'm cheering on the side-lines as I whisper
Please, don't regret this scene-shifter

And, now, it's two years past since they took her away from me
Her voice still sends a chill
You know that no one else could ever copy
I still feel her close to me
Even though she's forever fallen

And, oh
She's a beautiful saint
Oh
Did things so no one else could feel her pain
And, oh
I was cheering on the side-lines as I whispered
Did you regret the scene-shifter?

I close my eyes and breathe it in
You're here with me; I silently pray you're listening
I don't remember what you last muttered
How could my mind do me so wrong?
So, now, I close my eyes and try to remember
How we danced around the halls
Oh, you didn't have to tell me that was a memory

And, oh
You were a beautiful saint
Oh
Did things so I was never really in pain
And, oh
You know, I would stay frozen forever
Yes, I would stay frozen forever
If we could've lived happily ever after
