YOU CAME OUT FOR ME

© rich pagano/BMI

You came out
to see me
Wasn’t a greeting
Didn’t say goodbye

Pushing on through
To tell me
That you were sorry
As you looked into my eyes


In the wink
They pulled you back in
Deep in the black pit
Running out of time
I couldn’t change you mind

I SAW YOU IN THERE
SOMETIMES WE SAY WHAT WE DON’T MEAN
WE HURT ONES THAT WE ARE CLOSEST TO
NOW YOU ARE FREE
BUT YOU CAME OUT FOR ME

I called you out
Confronted
You felt hunted
Separated from the tribe

Sitting shotgun
You weren’t lingering
Knew I was hurting
Wouldn’t let me see you crying

You chose the packet
But it was counterfeit
now everybody’s pining
Cause it wasn’t worth you dying

I SAW YOU IN THERE
AND WHAT YOU SAID YOU DIDN’T MEAN
WE HURT ONES THAT WE ARE CLOSEST TO
NOW YOU ARE FREE
BUT YOU CAME OUT FOR ME


15 and 5
Such a short life
The last had its light
But the first were divine


Like Karras and Regan
For only a moment
Saw your salvation
It was the very last time
I looked into your eyes


I SAW YOU IN THERE
AND WHAT YOU SAID YOU DIDN’T MEAN
WE HURT ONES THAT WE ARE CLOSEST TO
NOW YOU ARE FREE
BUT YOU CAME OUT FOR ME
