Is there a safe place you can go little girl
you're all in red and they'll catch you in a second
can't you slip underneath the brush and wait for dawn
when it's light you'll be alright you're not in danger

did you kill a man with your tiny hands
did you mean it, you mean little thing?
did you slay a wolf without a second thought
and is it finally bleeding your conscience dry

it's okay, there's nobody coming after you
no, it's okay, nobody blames you

is there a quiet conversation that you want to have little girl
you've lived through nightmares I'm sure they all want to ask
can't you drink yourself out cold if you're sure you've done wrong
you can go back in the morning and see the crime scene

could you see the wolf in the dark of night
did he press up against you, did you put up a fight
did you let him hurt you yes you knew
that's why he had to die-- he could hurt your pride

it's okay, there's nobody coming after you
no, it's okay, nobody blames you

except the mother of the wolf
