Lyrics

I coloured this picture for you
A little girl crying in her room
Her mom's just outside the door holding her head
And her brother's outside shooting hoops
Yeah, you can see him past her windowsill, but we're not looking at him the same ever again
Baby what'd he do to you?
Come on, what happened to you?
Tell mama that you're okay
May flowers, she won't say a single word, the doctors gave up on her, some things just can't be cured
Or covered up
These days she's hardly alive. (uh oh oh-oh)
She's already dead in the eyes. (uh oh oh-oh)
The house has been silent ever since. (uh oh oh-oh)
Tell me what happened to caroline
Whatever happened to caroline?
Whatever happened to caroline?
Come on
Baby what'd he do to you?
Come on, what happened to you?
Mama knows it hurts inside (deflowered)
When you're up on your feet again you'll grow a resilience to those cold, unrelenting showers
May flowers grow taller, the harder april storms on the land
If you knew those storms were gonna come, I thought mothers protected their young. (uh oh oh-oh)
Those rainclouds are hiding your son. (uh oh oh-oh)
Now look at what happened to caroline!
Look at what happened to caroline!
Whatever happened to caroline?
How do we solve a problem like (uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh)
We don't. (uh oh, uh oh)
Still we've got to catch those clouds, we've got to keep them down
How do we solve a problem we don't want to know about?
(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh) we don't
