She's never alone,
because she's scared of what she might say to herself
Always drinking in the backroom of the bar where everyone turns in
half-hearted grin
She won't be afraid
as long as that prescription keeps going through
Riff 1
And all the happy pills make her look like cardboard cut out of someone
Riff 2
I use to learn from
,
But on the phone, she's telling everyone,
(10th fret)
that there was a blue sky,
(9th fret) (7th fret)
she left behind
And there's a place that no one knows about,
Riff 3
Away from integrity
Riff 4(Bridge)
she writes a book in her head that nobody will read
Whatever you say,
please don't talk about the time when she was young
Apparently that was a different person
Riff 1 Riff 2
and so long ago it's strange to me, there's no history
But there's a past and she's telling everyone
(10th fret)
It must be a garden,
(9th fret) (7th fret)
that wouldn't grow
With roots of shame, too sensitive to blame
Riff 3
to herself as we watch he drown,
play interlude
I can't save the queen without a kingdom or a crown
Somewhere in this lonely game of sympathy
there is a selfish dream That makes me sick
Standing on the high wire while you're on the ground
/ / Riff 5
To you what is dangerous is safe and sound...
You let me down
