Various Artists - Let Me Down lyrics

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 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 Herself as we watch her 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 The safe and sound You let me down
