So she cried alone for hours
And she did lines off the floor
And she thought of the unthinkable
Then she crushed up even more
She never thought they'd take her baby
She didn't even know that anybody could
And even though she was the only parent
They still took him from her
Arms for his own good

He didn't scream, he had look of relief
His eyes never looked back into hers
He went right to the nurse
One blink and he was gone
So she cried alone for weeks on end
And she used up every vein
And she tried the unthinkable
Anything to stop the pain
She never thought they'd take her freedom
She didn't even think that anybody cared
They claimed she was a danger to herself
So they put her in a place to get repaired

She didn't scream, she had look of resign
She couldn't find a reason to fight
The darkness won't reach dawn
One blink and she was gone

She never thought they'd take her baby
She didn't even know that anybody could
And even though she was the only parent
They still took him from her
Arms for his own good
