Lyrics
[verse]
Hey there, lady, sitting all alone
Hiding in a house that feels like stone
Every headline tells a smaller truth
Nobody remembers how you spent your youth
[chorus]
Here's to you, lonely wandering heart
You've been playing this forgotten part
Somewhere there's a kinder story to be told
Underneath the mask you're just as scared and cold
[verse]
Every step you take is watched and weighed
Every smile you give is half-betrayed
Times were simpler, or so they always say
Now the cameras follow every day
[chorus]
Here's to you, lonely wandering heart
You've been playing this forgotten part
Somewhere there's a kinder story to be told
Underneath the mask you're just as scared and cold
[bridge]
We'd like to know a little more of your affairs
Behind the curtain no one really cares
Put it all together, it's a lonely game
Nothing's really different, only just the name
[chorus]
Here's to you, lonely wandering heart
You've been playing this forgotten part
Somewhere there's a kinder story to be told
Underneath the mask you're just as scared and cold
