lullaby

everyone goes though a lonely spot
you just want to be held but
there's no one to do the holding
you think, "god, thanks a lot."
but you can't hear between
the screams and scolding

you're there, in my head
[stop crying, my baby]

i'll give up being held
if i can hold you instead
[it's alright, darling,] i'll
shoulder everything that you've felt

i know
you're gonna glow
you're gonna go
far

the peace of mind
i want you to find
leaves me behind;
let me be your scar--

there'll be flowers,
i'll be your maid of honor
when you marry your
knight in shining armor;

until then
i'll stand in.

This was a pretty good one too. I got sort of thrown off by the change of beat and rhyme, though
