Everybody talks about
The ones who fall in love
They kiss and cry
And live and die
Life they never dreamed of

But nobody talks about
The time that comes before
The heartbreak and
The loneliness
Your heart out on the floor

Even when the sun comes up
Your left in misery
Your eyes red-rimmed
Your crawling skin
It's all a mystery

Sometimes you can be just fine
And have a normal day
Then you get home
You're all alone
You want to hide away

"Is there something wrong with me"
Your heart whispers too loud
And suddenly
And sullenly
You're with misery endowed

You're walking down a busy street
You pass a window pane
You see yourself
But not yourself
And all that's there is pain

"Your belly rolls, your neck's too thick"
You chastise yourself
Before you know
It, any glow
Falls in upon itself

Your tears fall down, flooding out
You wonder what is wrong
They just don't see
All your beauty
And what was there is gone

You try to find a better way
To finally fall in love
Before you know,
Here comes the snow
And you are still alone

"Someone's out there," they all say,
"He's waiting just for you"
It never helps
Nor even quells
The place you're going through

Weddings, anniversaries
You don't enjoy them all
But sometimes you
See joy and truth
When rice and flowers fall

But then there's always going home
You have to face the day
With fake smile off
You go to bed
And cry your makeup off.
