Stood Up

her heart was broken like a cup
she stood stood up
where will she go what will she do
she's wishing all the things she'd said before
had talked him into loving her

my baby's brittle little life
collapsed around her overnight
around the corner there's a brand new day that's waiting for her
my baby's brittle little life 
was draped around her like a shroud
and all her misery allowed
was that she saw his figure
big as life in everything

she took the train home in a daze
saw not a soul along the way

and when it dawned on her too late 
that she had missed her stop
she smiled

my baby's brittle little life
collapsed around her overnight
around the corner there's a brand new day that's waiting for her
my baby's brittle little life 
was draped around her like a shroud
and all her misery allowed
was that she saw his figure
big as life in everything
