You Let Me Down Lyrics

she's never alone because she's scared of what she might say to herself always drinkin' in the backroom of the bar where everyone turns in with a half-hearted grin she won't be afraid as long as that prescription keeps on goin' thru 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 tellin' 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 tellin' everyone it must be a garden that wouldn't grow with roots of shame too sensitive to blame 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 standin' on the high wire while you're on the ground to you what is dangerous is save and sound you let me down
