lyrics

Far from the beginning somewhere in middle left
She said I know I have reasons why I won't wear that little red dress
Standing in this light at night she knows she should let it be
Conquered by this world of lies she can't seem to pry herself free

Oh, Michelle no hiding I know my tongue is a sword
Oh, Michelle love's dieing but it's hard to remember the good
When you're down inside when you fake alive
When your heart knows the reasons but your head's not listening

Feelings come, walls close in a tightening of the chest
She said I know I'm acting nervous, but every moment's not heaven sent
Water rises in the tub; she dives down bout neck deep
She clears her mind and closes her eyes says I just need a moment to bleed

Oh, Michelle no hiding, I know my tongue is a sword
Oh, Michelle love's dying but it's hard to remember the good
When you're down inside, when you fake alive
When your heart knows the reasons, but your head's not listening

I cannot run I cannot hide I cannot be part of this lie
I cannot run I cannot hide I cannot be part of this lie
I cannot run I cannot hide I cannot be part of this lie
I cannot run I cannot hide I cannot be part of this lie

When you're down inside, when you fake alive
When your heart knows the reason,
but your head's not listening
