[Bridge: Sam Edwards]
Hush little baby don't you cry
Hush little baby don't you cry
Hush little baby don't you cry, no
Hush little baby don't you cry
[Verse 1: DEX]
She sees the world with so much hatred
She can't face it
On the weekends getting wasted
Other days spent, seeking, attention from the boys
Reputation low, self esteem destroyed
Hear the shattered soul, in her voice
Self harm on the daily, thinking maybe she is crazy
Friends with other girls, but too focused on being perfect
Parents say, "you'll be 'right" but they don't see her cry
They don't see her sleepless nights
They don't see she's weak inside
Drugs offered, she takes them just to fit the crowd
Cheats, lies, steals and thinks that she is living now
Becomes distant, from her old self
A girl who had it figured out but what goes up, must come down
Now she's lying on the ground without a sound, breathless
Cold, thought the pain would be endless
[Chorus: Sam Edwards]
I know I should say goodbye
Before I say hello
So darling hold me, closely tonight
For if you open your eyes
I'll never let you go
Moving slowly we'll, both sleep tonight
And I'll be dreaming 'till you wake, me, up
[Verse 2: DEX]
Hear my voice, hush little baby, don't you cry
So much in this world to smile for
So much in this world to see
Watch the trees and breeze sway perfectly
I know it's hard, I know you're feeling down
People got you, with open arms, they are around
So listen to your heart
Find what you love before it breaks apart
This world is beautiful, you just gotta see it
Amazing, the fresh air, that you are breathing
Find the sun, in the clouds, feel the love, when you're down
Open your eyes it's true bliss
Take you when the shoe fits
And remember you ain't useless
Take my hand, I'll take you to a dream land
Tell your story, because someone will understand
[Chorus: Sam Edwards]
