Untitled

She's sitting at the bar , with egg upon her face
She sometimes feels belittled, but often in disgrace
She never thought it'd happen 
back when she was young
Now her hopes and dreams
have come undone

When she was back in school, 
she always thought she be
Married to a rich man, and live in luxury
Spending everyday in sunshine having fun
Now her hopes and dreams 
Have come undone

Where did her dreams go, and when did they die
Her eyes are looking distance, as she sometimes ponders why
But in just a fleeting moment, she'll be dreaming still
It just takes another drink and a pill

When she was back in school, 
she always thought she be
Married to a rich man, and live in luxury
Spending everyday in sunshine having fun
Now her hopes and dreams 
Have come undone

Where did her dreams go, and when did they die
Her eyes are looking distance, as she sometimes ponders why
But in just a fleeting moment, she'll be dreaming still
It just takes another drink, and a pill
