You're cold that way And that's why you say The things that you say You can't attract The things that you lack You're trying in vain [Chorus] It seems it's always the crazy times You find you'll wake up and realize It takes more than your saline eyes To make things right You spiral down You've broken your crown You don't feel like a queen You've seen the proof But you're still crying wolf You'll never believe [Chorus] You try to climb a broken ladder Grip the missing rungs And fall down, down, down Seems sometime ago you said This wouldn't last And now you sit here crying Beside your bed You feel left for dead You kneel in the dark It takes more than your saline eyes To make things right [Chorus]
