Ellie

Ellie got under my skin
With her strawberry hair flowing in the wind
She gave me a flannel jacket to wear
When the world's just too cold to bear
But she gave everything, drained out all that's inside
And she cried on the floor feeling empty
Stayed in the shadows and she'd tear her own skin
And she won't let me know where she's been

I stare at the flicker of the candle burning slowly in the dark
Beside was a picture of you
With a smile on your face that I barely recognize

Walking on eggshells around you
Tread lightly, don't fly too close to the sun
But the world's so grim and dark, so ghastly
I'd clawed myself out to keep afloat
I thought you'd shed me some light
But I slipped away and now I'm gone

I stare at the flicker of the candle burning slowly in the dark
Beside was a picture of you
With a smile on your face that I barely recognize

Walking 'round and 'round and
You can't see me but all I see is you

Ellie got under my skin
With her strawberry hair flowing in the wind
She gave me a flannel jacket to wear but the world's just too cold for her to bear
But she gave everything, drained out all that's inside
And she died
