Jewel - She Cries lyrics

rate me

Time passes quickly for our lady of the hour<br>She brushes her long blonde hair<br>From her face only to find a tear<br>But she don't know why she's been crying<br><br>She looks inside herself<br>To maybe find an answer<br>But she's willingly distracted<br>By the man who like's her glitter<br>She says, fool, I ain't gold.<br><br>She don't even know she cries cuz she's so tangled up in lies<br><br>In her head she plays a game<br>Pretending that she's not the same lady who is cheating on her husband<br>With a man she hardly even knows<br>She says, ignorance is bliss.<br><br>But when he asks her name<br>She must fumble for an answer<br>She's been called so many<br>But now she can't remember<br>So she just makes up another<br><br>And she don't even know she cries cuz she's so tangled up in lies<br><br>Now the dirty deed is done<br>She heads into the bathroom<br>She washes her hands in the sink<br>And thinks it could clean her conscience<br>If only she could find one<br><br>And slowly she turns and heads<br>For the door as if this were all a dream<br>She has seen her sweet husband's face<br>But only like a fleeting glimse<br>Of all those bridges she's been burning<br>All those bridges she's been burning<br><br>And she don't even know she cries<br>It should come as no surprise<br>Cuz she's so tangled up in lies
