First Love!

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 to herself as we
watch he 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
