I drift away to a place

Take away the pain

Isn't yours at all

Falling apart, and all that I'm asking

Oh, he's under my skin

Another little white lie

So what you had didn't fit

Among the pretty things

Never fear, never fear

I now know where you've been

Braids have been un-tied

As ribbons fall away

Leave the consequence

My tears you taste

Is this a dream or is this my lesson
