A little girl sits in her new dress   Alone on the cold concrete front steps   And cries to herself, wondering when   Or if, she'll ever see her father again      Why don't we try harder than last time   To dry our eyes and smile      Someday, oh I'll make time   Yeah maybe, but not tonight   I'm trying as hard as I   Can to believe you   Don't lie      A killer without a conscience cries   Alone in his cold bedroom at night   Perpetually asking why, oh why   Am I so lonely, while he sharpens his knives      Why don't we try harder than last time   To dry our eyes and smile      Someday, oh I'll make time   Yeah maybe, but not tonight   I'm trying as hard as I   Can to believe you   Don't lie      You don't get it   This is it, your last chance to dance   You don't get it, no      A father who left his daugher's side   And slowly exhales for the last time      Someday, oh I'll make time   Yeah maybe, but not tonight   I'm trying as hard as I   Can to believe you   Don't lie      Someday, oh I'll make time   Yeah maybe, but not tonight   I'm trying as hard as I   Can to believe you   I don't believe you   I want to believe you   Don't lie      Dry your eyes and smile
