Be a good girl
Try a little harder
You've got to measure up
Make me prouder

How long before you screw it up
And how many times do I haev to tell you to hurry up.

You wake up to realise
you're standard of living
somehow got stuck on survive.

Never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie.

What i really meant to say is
I'm sorry for the way I am.
I never meant to be so cold...

It's just that nothing seems worth saving
I can't watch her slip away

If i could fix myself i would.
But it's too late for me.

We'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
i'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
...but they keep waiting
...and picking...

Before everything else,
i was like you

Love to live,
and live to be free

She thinks i can't see the smile that she's faking,
the poses for pictures that aren't being taken.
