There's a little lake of tears In the middle of the kitchen table And she watches as another one Drips from his nose into the deep And he keeps talking and talking and talking But talk is cheap and weak and watered down Just another awkward sound she doesn't need to hear He's just a shadow only half a man And she can hardly muster even half a damn about this Sorry situation In the the back room, kids are watching Frozen Fate's her only opponent Hey, Annabel What you gonna do girl? Hey, Annabel What you gonna do now? There's only so many times A grown woman can swallow this Hollowness Before her itchy trigger finger Starts to wake her in the dead of night So she goes walking and walking and walking But these old streets don't change There's no metamorphosis here Were you really gonna wait until the coast was clear? Were you really gonna wait? She's just a shadow Only half a human Living a half-life inside the institution of what? Does she only ever get what she's got? With the voices in her head all screaming Hey, Annabel What you gonna do girl? Hey, Annabel What you gonna do now? In the pre-dawn silence Her hands are shaking too hard To hold a secret cigarette Strange kind of violence When the blows never land And the blood's never let Annabel You're one of the best We'll always love you Even if he don't We'll always love you Even when he won't Annabel You're one of the best Only a winner on a losing streak When you can't find strength Doesn't mean your weak These were always someone else's decisions This was always someone else's life These were always someone else's decisions This was always someone else's life These were always someone else's problems This was always someone else's wife It was always someone else's husband It was always someone else's wife
