It could not be fixed.

She dropped it from her hands

And onto the floor

And mama said she wouldn't get any dinner

And she was only 4

And mama cared 'bout the three hundred dollar vase

Mama didn't see the flower in her hand

And while she tried to piece it back together

Mama gave up,

Mama said it couldn't be fixed.

She dropped from her As

and ventured into Fs

And the teacher said she would get detention

And she was only 13

And the teacher cared 'bout the grades

The teacher didn't see cuts on her wrist

And while she tried harder and harder

The teacher gave up,

The teacher said it couldn't be fixed.

She dropped herself lower,

Into pits of despair,

And the doctor said it would be okay,

And she was only 18,

And the doctor cared about the money,

The doctor didn't see her clinging on to life,

And while she prayed and fought,

The doctor gave up,

The doctor said it could not be fixed;.

She dropped it in the hands

Of someone she loved

And that someone said nothing at all,

And she was only 24,

And that someone cared about someone else,

The someone didn't see that she could not go on,

And when her heart broke into pieces,

She gave up.

She said it could not be fixed.

She could not be fixed.
