She lies awake at night
Staring at the ceiling with wasted eyes
So blind to the world outside
Why it’s so appealing this time of night
She cries alone at night
Calling out for reason to come inside
Confined to this world of treason
She’s self-defeated with wasted sights
I see myself in her reflection
A waste of life in this dimension
Give me something, more than nothing
Give me anything, more than life
She was brought up on the lemonade
Then she turned to the cheap champagne
A sweet substitution for the sour taste she knew
Graduated from her ginger ale
On trial for her holy grail
Psychosomatic, it’s so tragic
Any drug would do –
But the only one she would never take was you
No, the only one she would never take was you
She cries alone inside
Now she’s drawn the curtain for the final time
Unsure who will open the door
But she knows for certain it’s time to try
Confused, she stumbles to her bedroom through diminished light
Subdued by every poison
She lies down in her bed tonight
I see myself in her reflection
A waste of life in this dimension
Give me something, more than nothing
Give me anything, more than life
She was brought up on the lemonade
Then she turned to the cheap champagne
A sweet substitution for the sour taste she knew
Graduated from her ginger ale
Now she’s on trial for her holy grail
Psychosomatic, it’s so tragic
Any drug would do –
But the only one she would never take was you
No, the only one she would never take was you
No, the only one she would never take was…
