I Let Her Fall

(Nikki Gillespie)

These lyrics are about a Mom who, for whatever reason, left her young preteen daughter, with perhaps an older sibling or grandparents, so she could search for the answers/the meaning to her own struggles...not truly realizing the aftermath, the devastating affects of her leaving had on her broken-hearted, unguided daughter.

Baby Girl, oh Baby Girl 
 I'm so sorry that I left 
 Baby Girl, oh Baby Girl  
 Sorry I didn't see, to 
 you, what it meant 
 
Coming into her own 
Who would've known  
That she wouldn't know 
her own worth cuz there was 
no one home to help her grow 
So she lives in a forest of her own thoughts and guided by what her imagination had sprung 
 
 Baby Girl, please let me back in  
 I know I let you down 
 But I'll die before I let yer lil 
 heart get torn again and 
 stomped to the ground 
 Oh Baby Girl please… 
 
Too young to see in herself the the things that need to be found… things that every girl should have to be well rounded 
 
 I let her fall  
 Assumed I had her tight 
 but I lost her grip and it was 
 my fault I let her slip and it 
 serves me right  
 
Where a smile should be on that sweet face lives a sad little frown in its place 
She feels so lost… feels all alone 
And I lost her trust 
Nothing's fits right now 
Nothing belongs  
 
 I broke your little 
 heart  
 And now you're so 
 withdrawn 
 I know I did you wrong 
 I'm sorry I let ya down 
 I'm so sorry I let you fall 
 
 Too young to see in herself the the things that need to be found… things that every girl should have to be well rounded 
When she should be full of life and looking up ahead at all the good around… instead she's looking behind herself or walking with her head down 
 
 I keep thinking about all the times you were standing alone at the bus stop, instead of in the car ride that you should've gotten across town… 
And all because I was nowhere to be found 
 
 It kills me that I was so 
 fuckin’ XXXX

Singing on the corner

By Howard Aronson

This is a fictional lyric about someone who's a sidewalk performer, and hoping that he makes a big someday. It's so hard to become a star at anything, even if you're good, to be a pro at it is mostly a dream and people's minds. But you can never give up, and hope that one day you'll get a chance to prove to everyone that you belong on the big stage.
