  • She was dancing, she was smiling

  • Roses blooming on her cheeks

  • In a quiet kind of litany she accepted some defeat

  • And then she twirled into the arms

  • Of disgrace and then repelled

  • Now she's fallen to her knees

  • But you couldn't ever tell

  • And then she asks me how we got here

  • I told her I don't know

  • And if you keep on asking

  • I'll just keep saying so

  • This isn't what I wanted

  • It isn't what you need

  • Oh, let them keep on talking

  • Just calm yourself and breathe

  • Don't you pay them any mind

  • Don't you pay them any mind

  • You know this happens every time

  • Don't you pay them any mind

  • Where the burdens of her mother

  • Weigh like sandbags on the eyes

  • As she closes just to open as the sirens whirling by

  • And now she's off to tell a secret

  • To a friend somewhere in town

  • And her friend just takes a moment

  • And asks why I'm not around

  • Darling, this is something I should've told you long ago

  • I just want you to feel safe, I just want to make you glow

  • Oh, how you glowed when we were young

  • And with nothing on our minds

  • But each other, one another and we had nothing then but time

  • And then she asks me how we got here

  • I told her I don't know

  • And if you keep on asking

  • I'll just keep saying so

  • This isn't what I wanted

  • It isn't what you need

  • Oh, let them keep on talking

  • Just calm yourself and breathe

  • Don't you pay them any mind

  • Don't you pay them any mind

  • You know this happens every time

  • Don't you pay them any mind

  • Why do we have to go through this everytime

  • Some days you hear it

  • Some days you don't

  • Sometimes you feel it

  • Sometimes you won't

  • Just calm yourself and breathe

  • Don't you pay them any mind

  • Don't you pay them any mind

  • You know this happens every time

  • Don't you pay them any mind

She was dancing, she was smiling
