Lyrics

For What I Know

She stuffed her hand in her little pocket for clover and a place to hide
it was so easy being invisible with nobody around to find her
and she'd run so fast her heart couldn't catch her
as sun and horizon blended--

My heart is breaking for what I know.

She pressed her face to the little mirror and climbed into the other sidewhere they danced and flung their scarves around and whispered something nice--
but would they laugh if they saw her, would they turn away
pretend she was not in the room--

My heart is breaking for what I know.
My heart is breaking for what I know.

She braced herself in the corner under the garrett, wished that she were blind
they were wearing down the floorboards in their high-heeled shoes
with a clicking that would not stop--til they all tipped over like mannequins
at the flinch of fingers--

You cry when you're ready, you cry when you're not--
it's all the same chasm--

My heart is breaking for what I know.
