Going up, coming down
And she counts every day by the number of times
Waking up with the tears still in her eyes
Going up, coming down
No-one said that this life would be easy
So hard
Taking the open road
The last train home
Bad dreams, waking insanity
Makes her long for the other side
Funny how suddenly
Any place would be better than this one
Falling, deeper down with the cracks that start to show
Giving up, giving in
She's so careful to plan every moment
Dangerous how indifferent she's become
Black clouds gather together where
Loneliness is her only friend
Breaking away from a life on the run
She hoped for tomorrow
But that never comes
Always somewhere out of reach
Going up, coming down
Lost in some kind of twisted perfection
Everything said and done and over now
Cold like stones on the empty beach
Tide is turning
The waves roll in
Coming in
Breaking away from a life on the run
She hoped for tomorrow
But that never comes
Always somewhere out of reach
