Did someone give you something to help you ease the pain
|
Like the liquor in the bottle we watched you slip away
|
And I feel like if I know you through the buzz of a song
|
Always surrounded but alone
|
|
But no goodbyes you'll always be Miss America
|
We watched you fly but nothing's free, Miss America
|
And as you fall apart we just call it odd
|
Was it so hard to breathe
|
|
Was that picture in the paper not the face you recognize
|
Did the make-up never make up for the pain behind your eyes
|
And I feel as if I know you when you're on my silver screen
|
But I don't know the dark places that you've been
|
|
But no goodbyes you'll always be Miss America
|
We watched you fly but nothing's free, Miss America
|
And as you fall apart we just call it odd
|
Was it so hard to breathe
|
|
Does another voice sing in heaven's choir tonight
|
To fill the silence left behind
|
And I don't know what goes on in your mind
|
I'm sure it's enough to make me cry
|
|
Someday we'll find you'll live forever
|
|
No goodbyes you'll always be Miss America
|
We watched you fly but nothing's free, Miss America
|
And as you fall apart we just call it odd
|
Was it so hard to breathe
|
