• I hurt, eyes hurt, I start to cry
    goodbye little baby, goodbye
    my heart black indeed
    much like the night sky
    goodbye little baby, goodbye
    and still I wonder, and still I dream,
    goodbye little baby, goodbye
    am I the monster I think I seem?
    goodbye little baby, goodbye.

    would you have looked like me?
    or more like him?
    a juxtaposition of both?
    with my rope-burned wrists
    and his souless eyes
    goodbye, little baby, goodbye.

    would you have like me?
    and I like you?
    as a mother and child should?
    or when I said "I love you"
    would I have to lie?
    goodbye little baby, goodbye.

    what would you have been?
    should I even care?
    you're gone, vanished. i know not where
    little babies go once they die
    goodbye, little baby, goodbye.

    I hurt, eyes hurt
    I start to cry
    to salvage my life,
    another's must die.
    and I know, 'till my death
    I shall wonder why
    I hadn't been stronger,
    or smarter, or sly
    goodbye little baby, goodbye.
