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 a 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
