She Had to Leave

You tried but you lost And your ship sank just as fast as It took for the ink to dry When all your hope had failed, You were relying on that medicine But the pills had gone stale And the silence becomes the gasp for air That you've been waiting for for so long She just had to leave Couldn't wait to go to sleep She caught a train They cut her free Won't we take it back home She had to leave She plays her rich cards well But each line beneath her eyes Has got a story to tell Now she's loading up, Tunes her pulse to a song Singing, "When the song's done, You'll all be dead wrong." And the silence becomes the gasp for air She's been waiting for for so long She just had to leave Couldn't wait to go to sleep She caught a train They cut her free Won't we take it back home She had to leave She just had to leave Couldn't wait to go to sleep She caught a train They cut her free Won't we take it back home She had to leave
