Rachael

There's a poem that she wrote

And hid under the mattress

And if you find it

Please leave it alone



With a picture she took

Of a girl on the subway

With orange barrettes

And the saddest face she's ever known



As Rachael starts to wonder

Was it hers to begin with

Or was the memory

From someone else's sleep



'Cause there's a hole in her heart

That still harbors a question

Whose answer just might break it

So she's hanging on



At least it's hers to keep

So I asked her



"What if this does not belong to you

And all the things you thought were true

Turned out to just be someone else's lies?"

Baby, this does not belong to you

This does not belong to you

This does not belong to you



There's a fleck in her eye

That no one ever noticed

A pretty birthmark

For such a beautiful face



All the men from her past

Seem to have left her abandoned

I guess there's some things

That you can never erase



I've seen her play with her hair

In a moment of tension

I've seen her with her guard down

Ready to cry



But there's a hole in her heart

That still harbors the question

Whose answer just might break it

Still she's hanging on



'Cause no one wants to die

Then she asked me



"What if this does not belong to you

And all the things you thought were true

Turned out to just be someone else's lies?"

Baby, this does not belong to you

This does not belong to you

This does not belong to you



"What if this does not belong to you

And all the things you thought were true

Turned out to just be someone else's lies?"

'Cause baby, this does not belong to you

This does not belong to you

This does not belong to you
