He's the Reason why I can't stand to be touched.

Alcohol and late night calls
and you'd never understand.
She ran away from who she was
and they saved her old skin for when she returned.
It still fits like the day she left.
She doesn't want the life they show her
but she doesn't know anything else.
So she does the stupid little dance
That they taught her so well
And the world falls down on her
and she falls down from the weight of it all.
She's all alone, but in the center of it all
and they tell her ain't it lovely
Even she can see the lie,
but she still smiles and nods
And moves to the next step
Because the beat goes on and she's
Scared of what might happen if she falls behind
Or gets ahead of everyone else
Because she needs to be shown what to do.
Needs to be shown who she is.
She's not her own.
She's not her own.
