The narrow hole in the ground.
Sliding away from the world,
Away from the things that hurt.
She tries to hold on
To something great;
She tries to be strong
But tries too late.
She never saw where this was going
But she kept on pushing and pulling.
Confusing her mind and heart
Until it almost tore her apart.
So she sips on her coffee and bailey
She sits there just thinking "Maybe.."
The voices inside keep calling
"Take some tequila to keep you from falling."
Pouring them down, down, down.
One after another til she hits the ground.
Can't blame her for the walls she puts up
to defend her from those she dares to trust.
I remember when she use to smile.
I remember her laughter but it has been a while.
I remember the way she would light up a room.
I remember her heart beating while she stared at the moon.
Her glow has abandoned her this time
It's been so long since she has shined.
She looks at the world in a heavier way
And longs to know if that will change.
So she sips on her coffee and bailey.
She sits there just thinking, "Maybe.."
The voice inside keep calling
"Take some tequila to keep you from falling."
