Charlotte's Waltz

Ah um, she stares at the ring on his finger The gold is no threat to her goal Ah um, when she see what she wants she will get it And raise all the good into mess Ah um, she tries and she tries, he won't notice He passes her by like a stone Ah um, she won't settle to be something strange And she'll prey and she'll prey 'til she's won His heart's not for sale, she can't have him But it doesn't matter she goes anyway She can run through the streets, they can't see her But it doesn't matter she goes anyway Ah um, in the dark she find comfort for her head And races to run from the dawn Ah um, she sees things that should all be lifeless Can't see that there's no life among the dead Ah um, oh Father the voices she's hearing Don't tell her the truth anymore Ah um, she can't get not one man's attention She's moving through the crowd without a sound There's no life in her bones, does she know this? It doesn't matter she goes anyway She can't see that her heart is unconscious But it doesn't matter she goes anyway She runs to where she knows she's safe Well she's never safe anymore "Maybe if my memory is broken I'll want it back And take control of all the things that I could not have And then one day when rain washes over the lies" "Maybe I'll be whole enough to see and to be seen Walking down the street without the voices encroaching On all my thoughts and my loves and my fears and my soul" You can't tell her she's wrong, she can't hear you But it doesn't matter you call anyway If her soul was awake she could live long But it doesn't matter she goes anyway If only her blood freely ran through her cold veins It wouldn't have mattered she's gone anyway You can't bring back to life what you've lost once But it doesn't matter you try anyway You can't live while you're stalled, it's a jail cell But it doesn't matter you live anyway Once you see that you've lost what you're made for Oh it won't matter you've gone anyway
