"Sweet Little Thing"

*Disclaimer*
I wrote these lyrics back in July after a somewhat traumatic event. I couldn't think of anything to write this week for a blog so I thought I would post some song lyrics. For any of you reading these, please don't be concerned! What occurred was very sad but I was hardly involved in the matter and I'm quite happy right now despite how sad these are. You'll likely hear this in the form of a song someday. Enjoy and feel free to message me with ideas or comments!
Life came too quick round the bend
Like a loaded truck and a flash of red
And now you're gone, limp, flung to the side
All I could manage was a call
It's like I barely knew you at all
What I would give to hold you close
Make you feel safe
Hold your pretty little head to my chest
You sweet precious little thing
The line cut short
You did nothing wrong
And all I could manage was a stupid song
I should have lifted you up and made you mine
Instead I found a way to pass the time
Try to forget your face
Laugh away the pain
I love you and I'm sorry
So sorry
You weren't looking and I kept looking away
I couldn't be the soft hand to hold you
I didn't have the strength to show you how we can hurt but we can also heal
I'm sick with all the sadness I choose to just "feel"
When I could have should have been there to hold you
Sweet little thing
I love you and I'm sorry
