She’s not always on the edge

But when she is she can’t turn away

What’s the difference if tomorrow

Is just another day?

And she will shake her head

When he says she’s not happy anymore

“What is it I’m not doing

That I did once before?”

Would they be happier here without her

If she said she could not stay

What’s the difference if tomorrow

Is just another day?

She wants to give them the story

Of harmonizing voices late at night

But now the chapters seems to end

With another senseless fight

He’s reaching out to hold her

But she turns the other way

What’s the difference if tomorrow

Is just another thrown away?

It’s not the life that they read about

Or imagined in their dreams

She’s barely hanging on to hope

Lost for words it seems

They try to make her smile

Maybe then she’ll stay

But she’s not sure she belongs here

If it’s just another day

They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew

And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
No one's listening anyway

Your voice is small and fading
And you hide in here unknown
And your mother loves your father
'Cause she's got nowhere to go

And she wonders where these dreams go
'Cause the world got in her way
What's the point ever trying
Nothing's changing anyway

They pres their lips against you
And you love the lies that they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you're falling anyway

And you know I see right through you
'Cause the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
You're not listening anyway
