Alarm goes off to signal yet another day

Drags herself from bed

Why does it have to be this way?

Showers in her tears

Combs her longs dark hair

Dresses in pretence

Paints a happy stare

Goes outside to face all that lies beneath the skies

Holds her head up high to mask the sorrow in her eyes


CHORUS

She wants to run away to a place that they cant touch

She wants to hide there

She wants it oh so much

A place where tears can freely fall

A place where misery can call

A place where lonliness is her best friend



Shes all alone in a crowded room

Though it hurts to smile,

she knows she can cry soon

Going though the motions

doing what they want her to

Hiding her emotions like shes learnt how to do

They've tied her down they’ve locked her up and thrown away the key

Suffocated by her desire to be free


CHORUS


Darkness falls she walks home though the velvet night

Sinks into her room she knows she cannot win the fight

Prise apart the petals, watch her misery seep out

Salty scarlet tears

What is it all about?

Kiss the new paterns now that dance upon her arm

Goes to sleep in love with all the things that cause her harm


CHORUS


She finds comfort in the things that seem to bad

Its hard to understand her but she's happy being sad

She doesn’t want your sympathy

She doesn’t need your empathy

And she doesn't want it all to be alright

Don’t try to make it all be alright

I don’t want it all to be alright
