And she was always so defensive 
Like nothing was ever her fault 
Or her responsibility 

And this is all i have left to hold 
A delicate balance has been exposed 
And now it towers around us all 
Just goes to show life is so fragile 

She used to smile when she'd say 
"It's all so meaningless, anyway 
So just forget, forget it" 
And she was always so morose 
Like this was all some bitter joke 
But no one was laughing 

And now when we speak about her 
We never use the present tense 
I guess that's what happens
