	作曲 : Meiburg, Sheff
	I tried to save a girl I truly loved
	And didn't quite know how to help her
	So now she's sleeping as her parents up above
	Cry over things that they can't tell her
	And when I did my good deed
	I thought I'd feel unbroken gladness
	But standing in the street alone
	I just felt sinking sadness
	Girl, your dad will not us bless
	So hang up your veil and dress
	Look at me and take one guess
	Where this best-intentioned love will lead us
	I once felt a feeling fully through
	Though I knew I shouldn't feel it
	Because to act on it I'd be a person
	Who should be slapped into a straitjacket
	So every time it comes around
	I just let it die inside me
	You said, "I only come around
	Because I just need you to hide me"
	So we knelt in those dead weeds
	Sticks and sharp rocks cutting into our knees
	And I thought that we would freeze
	But there was just too much warm blood in our bodies
	I'm not going to make you take the pills
	Though you should really think about it
	The fire by which we both were almost killed
	Glowed so beautiful, don't doubt it
	But we have to make a choice now
	Can we glow without it?
	There's a space I tried to fill
	But I'm seeing now I never will
	You fly around while I stand still
	Until I slowly just get smaller and smaller
	I tried to save a girl I truly loved
	And I never would desert her
	But we both found out that I was dreaming
	Of the day I thoroughly could hurt her
	And I saw myself inside her eyes
	This shrinking would-be savior
	Resented her for never needing help
	And couldn't wait just to betray her
	So we drove back to her place
	From the temporary home that we had made
	And I stepped back into the street
	Feeling the fullest moment of my life
	Slowly shrink away from me
	With my good deed
