lyrics

Darkness of night stands outside the door
becomes to me
oh it does implore
questioning why I must break my heart
again and again on this unyielding floor?

It falls from my hands so easily
shatters to pieces imperceptibly

What does it matter if I wear that dress
if you're not around to see me at my best
I should be going it's getting late
so tired of being the one who must wait

I should be home reading in bed
living my life through thoughts in my head
yet I'm standing here
a piece of scenery
to all that pass by
and notice me
None of their eyes can satisfy me
The gaze I crave does not come for free

What does it matter if I wear that dress
if you're not around to see me at my best
I should be going it's getting late
so tired of being the one who must wait

Now that I realize
who runs the show
I'll pack my things
it's time to go
