Miss America

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Did someone give you somethingTo help you ease the pain?Like the liquor in the bottleWe watched you slip awayAnd I feel as if I know youThrough the bars of a songAlways surrounded but aloneBut no goodbyesYou'll always be Miss AmericaWe watched you fly, but nothing's free Miss AmericaAnd as you fall apart, we just call it artWas it so hard to breathe?Was the picture in the paper not the face you recognise?Did the make up never make upFor the pain behind your eyes?Cos I feel as if I know youWhen you're on my silver screenBut I don't know the dark places that you've beenBut no goodbyesYou'll always be Miss AmericaWe watched you fly, but nothing's free Miss AmericaAnd as you fall apart, we just call it artWas it so hard to breathe?Does another voice sing in heaven's choir tonightTo fill the silence left behind?And I don't know what goes on in your mindI'm sure it's enough to make me crySomeday we'll find you lived foreverBut no goodbyesYou'll always be Miss AmericaWe watched you fly, but nothing's free Miss AmericaAnd as you fall apart, we just call it artWas it so hard to breathe?
