Lyrics

Her body's empty
Her face is so small
And she thinks maybe
She shouldn't be blamed for it all
His hands are like giants
He can't feel a thing
He's stuck and defiant
What more could she bring
He takes her small hand
But she shakes her head
If he can't understand
He hasn't listened to what she's said
She's waited for this time
To let him down slow
But he's not taking her line
He won't let her go
Where did he go wrong?
He wants to know
He can't stand it
She's so calm
Chorus:
She's been waiting,
For a chance to break from the day
It's like banging your head
On a broken window pane, she explains.
She can't catch the light storm
The air has grown so stale
He has no choice
He has to go now
She turns her back now
So their eyes can't meet
And as he walks away
They're strangers in the street
His ears are bleeding
He can't hear a sound
She's lost now
And she can't be found
Where did he go wrong?
He wants to know
He can't stand it
She's so calm
Chorus:
Bridge:
I looked in the mirror to see
It's my face staring back now at me
How did I get here?
I am lost, I am choking
I am broken…I am broken
Chorus:

Her body' s empty
Her face is so small
And she thinks maybe
She shouldn' t be blamed for it all
His hands are like giants
He can' t feel a thing
He' s stuck and defiant

But she shakes her head
If he can' t understand
He hasn' t listened to what she' s said
She' s waited for this time
To let him down slow
But he' s not taking her line
He won' t let her go
Where did he go wrong?
He wants to know
He can' t stand it
She' s so calm
