lyrics

She knows it’s better to sometimes just let him be

They got drunk when in school
She woke up on a floor
Friends could be so cruel
And She was his chore

He gave her a ring
She just miscarried
He longed for a thing
The doses just varied

She knows it’s better to sometimes just let him be

I flipped a dime into the fountain pool at the mall to see
Who would be tuned into this crazy tool to save us all and me save me

She knew his moods
like the back of his hand
His parents collude
And help him to stand

They went up in the hills
To get him some air
The sun burned through her chill
He couldn’t care

She knows it’s better to sometimes just let him be

I flipped a dime into the fountain pool at the mall to see
Who would be tuned into this crazy tool to save us all and me save me

He wanted to lean
Up close to the edge
Her hands spreading sunscreen
He peered over the ledge

Leaned into the sky
His hand reaching to hold
She felt him slide from her eye
Now he’s turning to gold

She knows it’s better to sometimes just let him be

She knows it’s better to sometimes just let him be
