Tried my hardest just to keep my guard up Show you only parts of me I know that You were gonna like, yeah Think’s a pretty sight to see Oh and time has shown I never should have chosen Roads that kept the woman in me frozen You’re looking at a doll surrounded by her walls of stone Calling it home Felt my wings get clipped mid-air No one saw or no one cared Free-falling is a grand affair When you’re down and it’s dark they don’t want you God I’m so blue So blue I almost Fade into the sky at midnight Princess Diana type of terror How they love to tear us down And it’s written right there in her eyes Down deep inside Everytime you called her beautiful She thought you were lying, uh-huh I guess I just miss the girl I was I need the seasons to tell me how I’m feeling Falling leaves whisper, “maybe you should leave him.” Here in California all you ever get is sun (burning so bright) And time has shown I never should have chosen Roads that keep the woman in me frozen You’re looking at a doll surrounded by her walls of stone Calling it home Felt my wings get clipped mid-air No one saw or no one cared Free-falling is a damned affair When you’re down and it’s dark they don’t want you God I’m so blue So blue I almost Fade into the sky at midnight Princess Diana type of terror How they love to tear us down And it’s written right there in her eyes Down deep inside Everytime you called her beautiful She thought you were lying, uh-huh I guess I just miss the girl I was

Out in the woods where we measure our pain Line up the dots and draw in a shape It stands tall, tall as the treeline Someday when I’m just a smoke with no flame The smoldering embers of memories made I’ll have heard it Heard all the echoes I’ve broken lots of beautiful things Watched as they all fall apart at the seams Ooo-ooo, ooo-ooo Lay in the bed with the blankets unmade A chill in the air that no warmth can escape And I know now, I don’t belong here I grew up with your body Our two hearts are the same You should’ve heard the sounds that I made When they took you away I was inconsolable That I couldn’t keep you safe I’ve broken lots of beautiful things Watched as they all fall apart at the seams Ooo-ooo, ooo-ooo I lived in the glass cage world of my dreams Watched as it shattered and silently screamed Ooo-ooo, ooo-ooo I’ve broken lots of beautiful things Including myself, including myself.
