Maybe I've lost it at last
Maybe my last lucid moment has passed
I'm dancing with death, I suppose
But really, who knows?
Maybe I'm tired of the game
Of coming up short
Of the rules
Of the shame
And maybe you feel that way too
I see me in you
A girl full of anger and hope
A girl with a mother who just couldn't cope
A girl who felt caught and thought no one could see
But maybe one day she'll be free
It's so lovely that you're sharing
No, really, I'm all ears
But where has all this caring been
For sixteen years?
For all those years I prayed that you'd go away for good
Half the time afraid that you really would
When I thought you might be dying
I cried for all we'd never be
But there'll be no more crying
Not for me
Things will get better, you'll see
Not for me
You see
Not for me
You'll see
Not for me
Not for me
You'll see

Maybe we can't be okay
But maybe we're tough and we'll try anyway
We'll live with what's real
Let go of what's past
And maybe I'll see you at last

(Spoken)
We wanted to give you a normal life
I realize I have no clue what that is
I don't need a life that's normal
That's way too far away
But something next to normal
Would be okay
Yeah, something next to normal
That's the thing I'd like to try
Close enough to normal
To get by
We'll get by
We'll get by
