Oh, broken down all tattered, nothing mattered… Instead he wants to die. Sadie wrote a letter to God and wondered why he never replied. By twelve years old something took hold of her tiny hand… Such a darling girl… Here, try on your grandmother's pearls. They come in black? What a thing to ask...

Oh, told me late last night, something gone awry. Sadie wants to die. Oh, broken down all tattered, nothing mattered... And Sadie wants to die. The home is where the heartache began. Cause children really don't understand. The things that you said forever tainted.
