MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA - Girl With Broken Wings ( Nobody Sings Anymore) lyrics

rate me

On the porch she will sit, light another cigarette

And take a sip of anything that makes it right

She's outside trying to hide from the fight just inside

Where her mom and her dad destroy eachother

On the phone she will call every boy, yeah one and all

They will touch her in all the right places

In her room she will slide down the bed and try to fly

And she will fall once again, for the feeling

And as he grabs her brown hair

She is faking that the feeling he gives her is real

As the floor underneath the bed is broke in two

She will finish what she starts with "I love you"

So from her head, to her toes

Nervous hands and a runny nose

All of this just for one night of feeling

And in her ears she will hear all the things

That hide her fears of dying young

And making plans for the future

And all the marks on her arms

Symbolize a fractured heart

And all the boys that were smart left her alone

So from the roof she will fly

Fifteen feet down the side of the house

Where she once was happy

Yes it's true, she's aware that she is breaking

And it's true, she can't do anything

Well in her blue underwear she is thinking how

In Jesus' precious name she got here

Well its sad, but it's true that she is empty

But for now she will pray for some wings.

On a black Cadillac she is landing on...

Yet her parents' biggest worry is the car
