She was dancing she was smiling

Roses blooming in her cheeks

In a quiet kind of litany

She accepted some defeat

And then she twirled into the arms

Of disgrace and then repelled

Now she's fallen to her knees

But you couldn't ever tell

And then she asked me how we got here

I told her I don't know

And if you keep on asking

I'll just keep saying so

This isn't what I wanted

It isn't what you need

But let them keep on talking

Just calm yourself and pay

Don't she pay them any mind

Don't she pay them any mind

You know this happens every time

Now don't you pay them any mind

Let it burn as if we'd bothered

We'll make sound based on their eyes

As she closes just to open

There's some sirens wailing by

And as she's off to tell her secret

To her friends somewhere in town

And her friend just takes a moment

And that's why I'm not around

Darling this is something

I should have told you long ago

I just want you to feel safe

I just want to make you glow

But how you glowed when we were young

There was nothing on our minds

When you jump for your love

Baby you're nothing long of time

And then she asked me how we got here

I told her I don't know

And if you keep on asking

I'll just keep saying so

This isn't what I wanted

It isn't what you need

But let them keep on talking

Just calm yourself and pay

Don't you pay them any mind

Don't you pay them any mind

You know this happens every time

Now don't you pay them any mind

Why did we have to go further every time

Some days you hear it don't listen I'll carry you

Some days you don't to the universe we'll never go

Sometimes you feel it it's not worth it help me

Sometimes you won't

Just calm yourself and pay

Don't you pay them any mind

Don't you pay them any mind

You know this happens every time

Now don't you pay them any mind

Don't you pay them any mind

Don't you pay them any mind

You know this happens every time

Now don't you pay them any mind
