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
A half-hearted grin
She won't be afraid
As long as that prescription keeps going through
And all the happy pills make her look like cardboard
Cut out of someone, I use to learn from

But on the phone, she's telling everyone,
That there was a blue sky, she left behind
And there's a place that no one knows about,
Away from integrity 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 and so long ago,
It's strange to me, there's no history

But there's a past and she's telling everyone
It must be a garden, that wouldn't grow
With roots of shame, too sensitive to blame
Herself as we watch her drown,
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
To you what is dangerous is safe and sound...
You let me down
