Baby, You Survived Lyrics - Great War - Justin Currie

Baby, can't you cry, or is she ain't letting you? 

That eyelash in you eye ain't what's upsetting you 

Though she's dead and out of sight 

She still throws your shoes across the room at night 

And she still says you're cheap and in your sleep 

sets the sheets alight 

So baby, don't you cry, she ain't worth it, and besides, 

You're too old for lullabies 

So baby, don't you sink back down that corridor 

Thake a breath and think what you've been running for 

'Cause she can't help you now 

All she can do is sulk around your house 

And show up in your eyes when you're surprised 

that you're happy now 

So be glad and proud, 'cause, baby, you're allowed 

And her shadow disappears when you shine a light 

down the years 

And torch that hallway of souvenirs 

So lately you and I have spoken of marrying 

So it's time to say goodbye to that bag of 

broken things you're carrying 

*Cause this time you can't hide 

All you can do is trust her loving side 

And walk on down the aisle with a smile and her voice inside 

So still and quiet 

Saying, "Baby, you survived"
