china girl

how do you find a place to sleep

when there's nowhere to go

life must be a living hell to you

only time will show

there with no clothes or food to eat

so filled with shame

each tear that sits upon your face

i know them by name

when will you stop to hear that voice inside

that you tried to hide

no one can save you but you

china girl

hope you find your way home

cos my heart is beating

waiting for your safe return

china girl

everybody loves you

all those hearts are breaking

it's not the same since you've been gone

each night you feel the need to hold

someone you don't know

to a place the emptiness inside

start heading home

you're place was never on the street

you ignored you call

did you know that pride was in the way

before you'd fall

i'm asking you if i could find

just where you had to sleep tonight

i wonder did you eat today

did you get on your knees and pray

to free you from this misery

thats not how life's supposed to be

no need for you to carry shame

there's no person here to blame
