In spite of herself she continued the story
|
She continued the wanting, the needing, never quite receiving
|
Inside of her shell she kept her emotion
|
She could only imagine the feelings but never quite reach them
|
And she lies as she leads you away
|
And she smiles as she fades away
|
|
Despite all her burns she went straight to the fire
|
And the flame took the skin from the bone
|
And the bone from the heart and the soul
|
If I could find a way to relieve all the hurting
|
I'd take all of the joy from the sky and put it back where it belongs
|
And she lies if she says she's okay
|
And she smiles as she fades away
|
|
In spite of herself she continued the story
|
She continued the wanting, the needing but couldn't quite receive
|
And she lies if she says she's okay
|
And she smile as she fades
|
And she lies as she fades
|
And she cries as she fades away
|
