When the morning was clear
Blackened affairs
And she could not breathe
Cuz she felt scared
Couldn't help but stare
Out of the window
Even though she wouldn't go outside

She wouldn't answer the door
Curtains were drawn
And the house was cold
Children were old
And they did not care
That's what she thought
But they tried to help
But she wouldn't answer the door

And the love we're hoping for is dying
Just like this city that we're all in

As time went on
She felt she belonged
In a trapped domain
Drove her insane
And the men she loved
Over the years
They would only use her
They would only use her

'Cause the love we're hoping for is dying
Just like this city that we're all in

When the morning was clear
Blackened affairs
And she could not breathe
Because she felt scared
Couldn't help but stare
Out of the window
Even though she never went outside

And the love we're hoping for is dying
Just like this city that we're all in
