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 on going through
And all the happy pills make her look like a cardboard cut-out of someone
I used 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 be
There's no history
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, too you what is dangerous
Is safe and sound, you let me down
