Miss Havisham

Away in a house, locked down
Sat a woman who time had withered away to nothing
But skin and bones
Her heart was a mess
Hardened to glass
Bent on a cruel plan
Adopted a girl for a doll she called Estella

She brought in a boy for a toy
To this young girl
To break his heart and tear him apart
As she often did
It was the education of a spinster
That set this girl to stone
That she couldn't love her mother
Let alone another

She said love her, love her, love me
But she couldn't see

Even I know you never give a pretty girl a hand grenade

Wow, I think your voice is phenomenal. :)  You have a very sweet Norah Jones sound to it.
