And listen to me, please
Could you find your strength?
Cause this ain't fun and games
I know you're hurting
You're feeling wronged
I know you won't know
That this is your song
Melanie, please listen now
You may be justified
In thinking life is out to get you
But that's no reason to die
This if for you, Melanie
And heed my warning, please
Don't you give up when
The fighting's just begun
And I know you can win
Hey, let me say it again
I know you can win, now
I know you're crying
You're feeling weak
I know you're starving
Like you've sprung a leak
Melanie, please speak up now
And say you will be brave
Cause I don't think I can sleep at all
If you can't sleep till late
This is for you, Melanie
And won't you smile at me, please
Will you be all right?
Will you try to fight?
This is for you, Melanie
And listen to me, please
Could you find your strength
Before you fade away
