In spite of herself she continued the story She continued the wanting, the needing Never quite receiving Inside of her she'll she kept her emotion She could only imagine the feelings But never quite reach them And she lies as she leads you away And she smiles as she fades away Despite all her burns she went straight to the fire And the flame took the skin from the bone And the bone from the heart and the soul If I could find a way to relieve all the hurting I'd take all of the joy from the sky And put it back where it belongs And she lies if she says she's okay And she smiles as she fades In spite of herself she continued the story She continued the wanting, needing Never quite receiving And she lies if she says she's okay And she smile as she fades And she lies as she fades And she cries as she fades away
