lyrics

you’re standing in the mirror
wondering if it’s your fault that this isn’t any clearer
your makeup’s running down
mixes with the tears that fall and punctuate your fear

and it makes you wanna scream
it makes you wanna scream
it makes you wanna scream

he’s standing near the door
standing in the same place where he left you once before
puts on his overcoat
dark and tall the smell of cigarettes you used to know

you know you want to leave
but you can’t ignore the bitter fondness that he brings
you walk into the street
arm in arm to make the same mistakes you did last week

but it doesn’t have to be like this
it doesn’t have to be like this
you deserve to be happy
you deserve to be free
