Lyrics

I
She's graceful to the eye
Elegant and tall
To see her walking by
You'd think she had it all
But I see her all the time now
A little red around the eyes now
Even so, it doesn't show
'Till I hear it in her words there
Just a little bit slurred there
Then I know, I know …

Chorus
That she's drinking again
Started sinking again
What's she thinking of then?
Well I don't know
But she's drinking again
Started sinking again
What's she thinking of then?
Well I don't know

Ii
None of this is new
It all went down before
When she made it through
I thought she knew the score
But she's nothing left to hope with
And it's such a lot to cope with
Even still, I think she will
She's trying really hard now
But letting down her guard now
Until, until …

Repeat chorus

She dreamed of being so fine
She dreamed of having someone by her side
And even when her dream had died
She dreamed that she could somehow make it right

Iii
Lipstick smudging her face
Hair all over the place
They say she's a disgrace
But they don't know
If she's drinkin' a lot
And if she says that she's not
Is she able to stop?
Well I don't know

Repeat chorus
