She looked outside where everything was wonderful
Everything was beautiful, everything was everlasting
Or at least it seemed to be ...
The flowers kept growing, all other things just carried on
Doing what they'd always done, doing what they'd do forever
If she did not stop them in time ...
And she lived, she cried, she thought herself to make it through the night
She loved, but she lost, she knew that thinking about it would make it worse - would make it worse
And she couldn't understand that the flowers didn't pity her
They didn't even notice her, they just lived happily ever after
Or at least they seemed to ...
They just kept growing, all other things just carried on
Doing what they'd always done, doing what they'd do forever
If she did not stop them in time ...
And she lived, she learnt, it's hard to play with fire without getting burned
She would try - she would try, she would try to fall asleep without the light
She remained, she stayed the same
Changed her ways, she dyed her hair, and changed her name - she changed her name
Now she's lovely Lady Sunshine in her Sunday dress
Picking up her life - God it's such a mess
Her boyfriend packed her joy and left her in distress
Yet she always wears a smile with that Sunday dress
And she learnt, she cried, she thought herself to make it through the night
She loved, but she lost, she knew that thinking about it would make it worse
She would try - she would try, she would try to fall asleep without the light
She remained, she stayed the same
Changed her ways, she dyed her hair, and changed her name
- she changed her name
And she learnt, she cried, she thought herself to make it through the night
She loved, but she lost, she knew that thinking about it would make it worse
- would make it worse... oh oh
