Once there was a way to take this pain of mine I tried to run but it stays right by my side Tear me open and do not cry I will scream a lullaby Golden slumbers steal my eyes Pain await you when I rise Tear me open and do not cry I will scream a lullaby Once there was a curse, just like the stray You fed it once and now it stays Tear me open and do not cry I will scream a lullaby
