Lyrics
The howling of the earth
The pain of giving birth
The girl all alone
The boy, he doesn?t know
Chorus:
That she wants to go
He doesn?t know that she has outgrown him
He doesn?t know how she hurts inside
He doesn?t know that she doesn?t love him
A dark lonely space
She lies to his face
A game she has to play
She knows she?s got to say
Chorus
The time lingers on
He sings the same old song
Too late to save the day
She's dead inside but she's got to say
Chorus
