Rachael

(album: This Is Forever - 2007)

There's a poem that she wrote
And hid under the mattress
And if you find it please leave it alone
With a picture she took of a girl on the subway
With orange barrettes
And the saddest face she's ever known
As Rachael starts to wonder
Was it hers to begin with
Or was the memory from someone else's sleep
Cause there's a hole in her heart
That still harbors a question
Whose answer just might break it
So she's hanging on
At least it's hers to keep
So I asked her

"What if this does not belong to you
And all the things you thought were true
Turned out to just be someone else's lies"
Baby this does not belong to you
This does not belong to you
This does not belong to you

There's a fleck in her eye that no one ever noticed
A pretty birthmark for such a beautiful face
All the men from her past
Seem to have left her abandoned
I guess there's some things
That you can never erase
I've seen her play with her hair
In a moment of tension
I've seen her with her guard down ready to cry
Cause there's a hole in her heart
That still harbors the question
Whose answer just might break it
Still she's hanging on
Cause no one wants to die
Then she asked me

"What if this does not belong to you
And all the things you thought were true
Turned out to just be someone else's lies"
Baby this does not belong to you
This does not belong to you
This does not belong to you

"What if this does not belong to you
And all the things you thought were true
Turned out to just be someone else's lies"
Cause baby this does not belong to you
This does not belong to you
This does not belong to you
