lyrics
she gives us a brittle, broken smile
full of pale teeth and happier days
if you didn’t catch the thunder in her eyes
you’d think she wasn’t dyin’ inside
but she’s torn to rags and stitched up wrong
tryin’ her best to turn thread to gold
goin’ through the motions to make everything alright
but she’s due for a breakdown some time later tonight
she drank the poison of pain undeserved
and now her anger just won’t sleep
it’s carvin’ her guts out with ice-iron claws
caged behind her ribs and pacing
see, she’s torn to rags and stitched up wrong
tryin’ her best to turn thread to gold
goin’ through the motions to make everything alright
but she’s due for a breakdown some time later tonight
she’s holdin’ a job and feedin’ the cats,
and keepin’ everything inside,
but sooner or later, it’s all comin’ out
she’ll be drownin’ in past mistakes
see, she’s torn to rags and stitched up wrong
tryin’ her best to turn thread to gold
goin’ through the motions to make everything alright
but she’s due for a breakdown some time later tonight
what she can’t understand is it ain’t her fault
sometimes even the sweet ones lose
and strength, it ain’t never fallin’ down
it’s gettin’ up again and again
see, she’s torn to rags and stitched up wrong
tryin’ her best to turn thread to gold
goin’ through the motions to make everything alright
but she’s due for a breakdown some time later tonight
li’l girl’s gonna keep on keepin’ on
just like good girls are s’posed to do
and all this pain is gonna sink in deep
until it’s all that’s left in her bones
see, she’s torn to rags and stitched up wrong
tryin’ her best to turn thread to gold
goin’ through the motions to make everything alright
but she’s due for a breakdown some time later tonight
she’s due for a breakdown some time later tonight
