She's a pretty girl with a pretty name,
Everyone knows that she knows the same.
So stuck in her way she could never say,
"Baby I love you, baby I hate you, I fucking hate you!"
Say it! Say it!
"I act this way because I'm dead."
Say it! Say it!
"Inside there's despair in my head."
Don't look back!
Realise and slowly seize the cracks.
She's a pretty girl, I don't remember her name.
I remember her voice and her refusal of blame.
She kicks off her sandals and dips her toes in the pool,
But she's terrified of drowning and death.
Say it! Say it!
"I act this way because I'm dead."
Say it! Say it!
"Inside there's despair in my head."
Don't look back!
Realise and slowly seize the cracks.
