Stephen Flaherty & Lynn Aherns
Still
[GLEB]
An underhanded girl
An act of desperation
And to my consternation
I let her go
She wants what she can get
Is that a fair depiction?
Does she believe her fiction?
It’s hard to know
Is it innocence or guile
Or nothing but a childish act of will?
She doesn't know she needs you
She willfully misleads you
But still... still!
A son becomes a man at his father's knee
If my father asked questions
Well, where would we be?
She's nothing but a child
A waif who needs protection.
I feel a strange connection I can't allow
She said it's all a game
She trembles like a flower
But in her, there's a power
I see that now
I am nothing but a man
With nothing but his orders to fulfill!
"I'm innocent," she cries
But then you see her eyes
Then something in them tells you that she absolutely lies
Until your heart replies
"But still..."
Still... still!
