Verse 1
She was just a baby girl
Yet to find her own new world
Filled with voices in her mind
All she needs is more time
But everything is falling
Falling through the floor
She can't find the time
To pick herself up anymore
Chorus
She keeps on falling down
She don't want herself around
She keeps on crying out for help
Just waiting for something more
Her tears are a river
She still finds time
To drown in herself
She just wants to be picked up off the shelf
Verse 2
Her Mumma and Poppa
They tell her things don't come in pairs
They say to stop dreaming
She pulls on her shoes
Walks herself to school
Finds her own new melody
Sits under her favourite tree
Wishing she had her music box
Lull her into sleep
Escaping another day
Chorus
She keeps on falling down
She don't want herself around
She keeps on crying out for help
Just waiting for something more
Her tears are a river
She still finds time
To drown in herself
She just wants to be picked up off the shelf
Bridge
She breathed her last air of hope
And tried to make it through the day
She sits in the room by herself
Thoughts of suicide
Breaking up the small girl inside
All she was is fading
Chorus
She has finally fallen down
She isn't torn down
She is finally at peace
Just found that something more
Her tears are washed away
Slipped into nothing
He ran out of time picking her up off the shelf
