Justin Currie Baby, You Survived
Baby, can't you cry, or is she ain't letting you?
That eyelash in you eye ain't what's upsetting you
Though she's dead and out of sight
She still throws your shoes across the room at night
And she still says you're cheap and in your sleep
sets the sheets alight
So baby, don't you cry, she ain't worth it, and besides,
You're too old for lullabies
So baby, don't you sink back down that corridor
Thake a breath and think what you've been running for
'Cause she can't help you now
All she can do is sulk around your house
And show up in your eyes when you're surprised
that you're happy now
So be glad and proud, 'cause, baby, you're allowed
And her shadow disappears when you shine a light
down the years
And torch that hallway of souvenirs
So lately you and I have spoken of marrying
So it's time to say goodbye to that bag of
broken things you're carrying
*Cause this time you can't hide
All you can do is trust her loving side
And walk on down the aisle with a smile and her voice inside
So still and quiet
Saying, "Baby, you survived"
