Consolation Prize

Heartbreak

Feels like an old dream

Feels like a demon

I cannot shake him

I have no one to turn to

The people have left me

And then too my family

It's your heart that I'll call

I am alive and here after all

I am alive

That's my consolation prize

There are bruises to cover

The bleeding's internal

Talk to me quiet so

No one knows I'm dying

No one knows who's lying

It's your heart that I'll call

I am alive and here after all

I am alive

That's my consolation prize

I'm not afraid to fall

I am still standing here after all

I didn't die

That's my consolation prize

I suppose I should thank you

You set the conditions

For me to learn to be alone

You lied and denied

And you forced me to see

I can make my life on my own

It's your heart that I'll call

I am alive and here after all

I am alive

That's my consolation prize

I'm not afraid to fall

I am still standing here after all

I didn't die

That's my consolation prize

That's my consolation prize
