"Claire" (Acoustic Version) - Evan Taubenfeld

new song i just wrote called "claire" about a friend of mine. hope you enjoy it, you can grab it on iTunes now.

Such a beautiful, strong, soulful song. I'm in tears... literally.
I like the acoustic version better. I think it goes better with the lyrics.
Ok. I tried to figure out the lyrics, but there're probably a lot of mistakes; anyways, here they go:

her dad does time for robbing banks

oh shit her boyfriend's hooked on meth

and while her bestfriend's busy getting laid yeah

her mom took the kids and left without her

now i know you're trying to keep your head up

i know you're trying to kill the pain

but you gotta stop there's better ways

Claire i'm praying for you i'm praying for you

so please don't let me down

Claire would you get better? won't you get better?

i can't put you in the ground

if you hear me now if you understand

Claire i'm praying for you i'm praying for you

so please don't let me down

she don't care what goes in her veins

cuz it makes her feel numb

she do this bullshit everyday

til she stop waking up

you know she could've been anything

she could've literally had it all

and now she just can't stop

and now she just can't stop

(stop)

Claire i'm praying for you i'm praying for you

so please don't let me down

Claire would you get better? won't you get better?

i can't put you in the ground

if you hear me now if you understand

Claire, i'm praying for you i'm praying for you

so please don't let me down

and i keep dragging her by myself by myself yeah

Claire i'm praying for you i'm praying for you

so please don't let me down

Claire would you get better? when you get better

then we can take you out

if you hear me now if you understand

Claire i'm praying for you i'm praying for you

so please don't let me down

Claire i'm praying for you i'm praying for you

so please don't let me down

Claire won't you get better? hope you get better

i can't put you in the ground
