Laura Dawn - Free And Lonely Life lyrics

I've looked to the bottom Of a bottle and a can And I've looked for the wonder In the leather of a man And it was never enough, you see It was never quite enough for me I knew there'd be hell to pay Along the way For living as I chose to And I ask myself In the middle of the night Just who could love me And is there a light That I've failed to see That could save me From this free and lonely life? I looked to my mother And she gave a steady hand But she was short on answers So I kept short on plans I looked to the city I took a hard, steady look at fame And I laughed when i realized that it was Just another empty name And it couldn't be enough, you see No, it couldn't be enough for me I knew there'd be hell to pay Along the way For living as I chose to Fair's just what you get away with Eventually you don't miss what's not there But I never figured out how to just not care And maybe that's all I need, you see Is for it to never be enough for me I knew there'd be hell to pay Along the way For living as I chose to I knew there'd be hell to pay Along the way For living as I chose to Fair's just what you get away with Yeah, it's what you get away with
