lyrics

So this is the story that she mutters to herself
I'm perfectly happy without the hazards of someone else
Yeah I've been down that road
Bought the life you sold me
And now I...

I can't go back there
I can't go back to you
Just please forget me
And who you changed me to

Her daughter was playing with the neighbor boy last night
And she couldn't help thinking, would he place her on a tightrope?
And force her to walk
Though she's sure to drop
Out of sight...

I can't go back there
I can't go back to you
You mustn't let me
Though part of me needs to

She looked in the mirror, but she only saw his face
No ring on her finger, and yet tethered to this place
Nothin' left to lose
And no choice to choose
Still she'd cry

I can't go back there
I can't go back to you
Yet who will stop me?
What else can I do?

So this is the story that she mutters to herself
