Well, I've got no more tears left And every muscle that I move just steals my breath And I can't take yours like I used to My body's deformed, it's confined; incorrect I'm not as strong as I pretend to I'm terrified of what the future could possibly hold And so I dream of what I can't choose A clean bill of health and a chance to grow old I'll never get the chance to be a mother You're staring at the portrait of a lover And do I still look like Hepburn? I'm not the girl you remember That's why I hate that you love me Then tell me how it feels to live like that Knowing that your love is ending fast And are my lips still recovery? I'm not the girl that you saw in me I'm a thief who's too scared to leave And last night I dreamt forever The sutures split and so they freed my butterfly wings And as the wires start to sever I leap to the Earth and surprised what it brings I feel suspended over thin-air And all the people that I pass just look like ants I can't remember what it's like there The trumpets blow as the Jesters dance But I'll never get the chance to be a mother You're staring at the portrait of a lover And do I still look like Hepburn? I'm not the girl you remember That's why I hate that you love me Then tell me how it feels to live like that Knowing that your love is ending fast And are my lips still recovery? I'm not the girl that you saw in me I'm a thief who's too scared to leave And if I kiss you one more time, will I make this goodbye? If I close my eyes tonight, will I make this goodbye? If I start to scream and fight, will I make this goodbye? If I kiss you one more time, will I make this goodbye? (Goodbye) I never got the chance to be a mother You're staring at the portrait of a lover And do I still look like Hepburn? I'm not the girl you remember That's why I hate that you love me Then tell me how it feels to live like that Knowing that your love is ending fast And are my lips still recovery? I'm not the girl that you saw in me I'm a thief who's too scared to leave
