she wallows in her misery

what made her think that this would be

that this would be any different

from the first mistake she made

still she dove without a care

for the second time around she'll pay



and wallow in her misery

the first to fail the last to flee

she thought she'd figured out the answer

to some long forgotten page

from some long forgotten book

on how to get her own way



i've tried and tried to tell her

it's not what you do

it's what you've done

with what you did

i've tried to tell her



she wallows in her misery

a failure at failure she fails to see

that this overacted part

from this never-ending play

is just her substitute

for reality anyway



i've tried and tried to tell her

it's not what you do

it's what you've done

with what you did

i've tried to tell her
