Waitressing Sucks

She tries to fall back to sleep When she wakes from her dreams So she can carry on living in a world by herself She mutes her voice to a whisper Still it sounds like a scream She's pressured in her mind for a story to tell For a story to tell I come in in the evening Ask her how her day's been She just rolls her eyes and says waitressing sucks Well I know it's not your style But atleast it's a living Sometimes she cracks a smile and says not by much 'Cause everything I want is still so far out of touch She don't want to be a memory She don't want to be a muse Oh she knows she's so much more than a name In a land thrown away just as soon as it's been used Don't let a disposition be the first thing to fool you She knows you want much more than just a peck on the cheek But by her own admition She knows that she can play the fool too She's been waking up too lonely, with some lipstick streeks With an empty hearted promise that he's calling next week She don't want to be a memory She don't want to be a muse Oh she knows she's so much more than a name In a land thrown away just as soon as it's been used And she worries about the weather About the rain and the snow So scared that all the clouds above will stop all of the colors she shows And I tell her that I'm helpless I just don't know what to do She says don't worry in the middle of the night I'm burning my white while you're stuck in the shade of blue She tries to fall back to sleep When she wakes from her dreams So she can carry on living a life more than this But she wakes anyway Smiles through her own gritted teeth She's trying to find a way along the map of her wrist She wants a taste of her freedom You just want a taste of her kiss She don't want to be a memory She don't want to be a muse Oh she knows she's so much more than a name In a land thrown away just as soon as it's been used She don't want to be a waitress She don't want to be confused For the girl who wants to be a name In a land thrown away just as soon as it's been used She knows she's so much more than a name In a land thrown away just as soon as it's been used
