People say There's nothing wrong with me, but you would tell me anyway There's a piece inside me missing and I never say What's too hard to say And the little lies, like the cigarette you break in half before you light it When you smile and say you want to build a life with me, but there's no life in me So don't you tell me to be happy I'm just a woman on the line And don't you tell me not to lose it How could this be the best of times And it's clear to me I could never be the golden child I tried to be There's an aching in my heart no one could take away And I won't make you stay So don't you tell me to be happy I'm just a woman on the line And don't you tell me not to lose it How could this be the best of times So don't you tell me to be happy I'm just a woman on the line And don't you tell me not to lose it How could this be the best of times So don't you tell me to be happy I'm just a woman on the line And don't you tell me not to lose it How could this be the best of times
