Ophelia

by Kalikala Smith

Oh Ophelia,
I wouldn't want to leave ya,
I wouldn't want to take your heart away.


I always thought I'd be the one to be brave.
I always thought I'd be the one to behave.
Now I'm scared, and I'm afraid,
to be alone.
When did I end up like this?
How could a child grow up to be a mess?
Suffocating and in distress,
I don't know.

I don't understand everything about this life,
and I don't know what I'm doing here, oh.

Something happened but she doesn't know where.
Her mind is racing and pacing she swears,
that she'll make it go away,
oh maybe someday.
What she wouldn't give to be normal again,
make her life simple, but then,
maybe she wouldn't be,
singing to me.

And I don't understand everything about this life,
and I don't know what I'm doing here, but...

Time, time can heal you.
Time, time can heal you.


I never wanted to ever let you down,
to make you cry, to feel put out.
Now I want to change but I,
don't know what to do.
Can I rest in your heart again?
Take the pain away, let me pretend,
everything's fine here,
and I'm okay too.

I don't understand everything about this life,
and I don't know what I'm doing here, but...

Time, time can heal me.
Time, time can set me free.

Oh Ophelia,
I wouldn't want to leave ya,
I wouldn't want to break,
your heart today.
