Lady in White - Trying to Be Me Lyrics

I remember a little girl from my youth
Lost in sorrow, locked away from the truth
I want to hold her close and feel safe inside
I want to remember why
She has no one to love her and nothing to live for
Why, tears run sour and sicken within her
She will never trust again a brand new day
I can't seem to reach her before she fades away
Trying to be me, I am trying to be me
Is it her, or me, trying to be me

We've got to run from this side or fall apart fast
This one does nothing but rage over the past
Her pain was unbearable, too much too survive
We betray her, yet she vows to stay alive
Under the radar she rattles our chains
We are afraid of her, and what we became
She is screaming and weeping; she wants to be heard
Demanding we feel what it's like to be her
She is trying to be me, she is haunting all my dreams
We are all going crazy, she is trying to be me

A dark secret world hides in one child
She was taken there pure and left, defiled
She has all our memories of shame and dread
Of pleasing-then easing our body off the bed
No one believes! We were afraid to be sure
Her thoughts are unthinkable, so we forgot her
She has been waiting in silent despair
To find me after all these years
She is trying to be me, she is dying to be me
Somewhere down deep she is trying to break free

What happened to my soul
It fractured into three
Now all three children are trying to be me
What happened to my soul
It fractured into three
Now all three children are trying to be me
