When did you decide
That the chill would never leave your bones
And none of the coats you wear
Would ever keep you warm
Liquor and pills
See you your pain far way in the mirror
Why do you only see yourself
When you're looking back through the eyes of a stranger

Your mother always worried you'd be a sad old maid
Alone and sour as a glass of lemonade
But your not alone, you should know that by know
I'd give anything to be where you are right now

Have you lost so much
That none of your tiny wishes can find a toe hold
Have you been recast
As some odd character that has no story to unfold

My mother always worried that I'd be a sad old maid
Alone and sour as a glass of lemonade
I'd give anything to be where you are right now
