Suffering So

(album: Loveletterbombs - 2005)

Dressed to perfection with no one to impress
They've all stopped watching your show of selfishness
But the world will turn still a shock to you I'm sure
With all you offer how could they possibly ignore you?
They used to adore you

Now life is awful
How do you keep on breathing?
It's just unbearable
How do you stand to go on suffering so?
When no one could know how hard it must be to be you

It's sad but no one cares there'll be no intervention
It's clear you're starving but only for attention
How could you help it, it could never be your fault
Beauty and money put you in this catapult
Into that pretty famous girls' cult

Now life is awful
How do you keep on breathing?
It's just unbearable
How do you stand to go on suffering so?
When no one could know how hard it must be to be you

With all those lights in your face
Your image all over the place, you poor thing
We'd love to stay and dry your sobs
But we've all got lives, we've all got jobs

But good for you, you proved us wrong
No one thought you'd last even this long

Your life is awful
How do you keep on breathing?
It's so unbearable
How do you stand to go on suffering so?
And no one could know how hard it must be
To be a princess locked up in a fortress
But if you let your hair down
You might see what life is like for us here on the ground
