Tell my mother I am only treading water To churn it into time And even in the great escape I never lost my mind Goin' sideways Livin' high among the strays Drinking burgundy and lace Gonna capsize every day Or be replaced So hard To be alone those days So hard To be alone those days ♪ How I tremble Knowing more than I should know How lifetimes come And lifetimes go Lifetimes come and lifetimes go So hard To be alone those days So hard To be alone those days
