Somewhere High

My dress is fit the way you like, so is my hair Your house is tidy day or night Your voice is cool so I am without a care I keep your home perfect Everything’s in its proper place Even my clothes you select They hide the pain in your space One hair out of place, one sock on the floor Just one more chance, the pain Of living a hidden life Your gentle tap on my face You promise never more We do your dance Bruises on my eye Somewhere high Somewhere to a better world Somewhere high, somewhere high I’m gonna fly When we were young I was a dancer My grace, now gone There is no answer why I walk into doors To darken my eye And when I tell someone They say it’s all a lie And I need to be a good wife But these are not my lies I’m taking no more This is not my life This is not my path There is a place you won’t see me Somewhere you don’t know Somewhere I can be happy Spread through my veins Under my scars No distance gained Pushed by my dead and broken heart Push these lies of me Let me feel the blue sky Take me far away Above the pain above the lies There is a place you won’t see me And I am flying somewhere high
