lyrics

i watched a woman speak into the mouth of the man she loved
saying that she needed him
and then I watched him turn away

I watched the frantic, the searching, the videotapes scatter
across the living room
but still no one heard a single word she said

it was all lipstick and white sheets, wordless and wonderful
and she loved him like she never knew she could
the way she'd always laughed about

and this woman was beautiful, so scarred and selfish
a pessimist because she couldn't afford to be hopeful

and she'd pray at night
and she'd pray at night
for something else to love
