It can no longer deny
I was fighting a lost battle
the truth is stranger than fiction
that's where my lost my ground

I thought you were different
but the past is alive and well
There is no reason that my dreams
should ever come true

I've been spouting off
about hope and determination
defiance knows no cure
for the busted heart

Half of me is on over drive
the other is fast asleep
This silly girl really hoped
you could set her free

I am counting down the days
until the plunger ignites the fuse
Before the flood of my dammed love
Drowns everyone in amour

I wanted arms around my chest
a nose coupling my ear
a gentle breeze of the words
lifting me from my depths

Why do I always have to be the one
telling everyone what they need to hear?
I'm sick at myself for
always being the bother they never had.

But what else can I do?
In the vacuum of your need
I was distorted and consumed
trapped inside the diamond within the spade

I never knew Snow White's coffin
was in the heart of man
how will my prince ever bring me back
when he can't see I'm trapped inside him

I suppose what is left of me
will have to move on
my heart has been removed
That's not a detriment is it?

who needs blood anyway?
fill me up with something clean
the burn of alcohol will only last
until I force myself to acclimatize

Don't worry daddy
I'll figure something out
And momma, it's alright
baby girl will carry on

Boys like me are rare enough
and boys like that are fine
standing behind other women
pointing their guns at me

It's not exactly fair
to cry over spilt milk
these thick thighs and wide hips
were meant for something else

Broad shoulders, tiny hands
small feet in roller skates
I can still hook shot
into the bumper of a race car

pluck the feathers, burn the wings
maybe i've paid for something new
Tisty, tosty, tell me true
Who shall I be married to?

I don't know how to go from here
is there a crystal palace for me
I can't seem to forget that face
I wanted pressed against my skin

If I don't think hard enough
I can feel your weight
slinking across my bed
shutting my eyes puts you here

Whatever name they can think of
to call me by might just be right
Since I never worked as hard
as I was expected to

while i sit around passing my time
thinking everything over and over
braiding pine into my coded hair
I'll crush herbs into a spell

That smile you wear is fake
the tears that brought me to my knees
poured rain down on me
because I can weather the storm

And no, I've never seen you dance
Somethings should be mysterious
I've always wanted a good surprise
to send me into a fit of laugher

But I know for certain
that I really do love you
If I have to be the third wheel
At least we can make a tricycle

When I started this one
I decided it would be my goodbye
Here I am again, letters down
I'm still burdened by good nature

I guess I'll never give up
I suppose I can't lose hope
because I never died
I'll have to live with my love

Who never left me alone
Who never turned away
who held me in my shadow
and brought me to where I am now
