DIANA Maybe I’ve lost it at last Maybe my last lucid moment has past I’m dancing with death, I suppose. But really, who knows? Could be I’m crazy to go. They say you should stay with the devil you know But when life needs a change And the one devil won’t You fight to the devil you don’t
Maybe I’m tired of the game Of coming up short of the rules, of the shame And maybe you feel that way too. I see me in you A girl full of anger and hope A girl with a mother who just couldn’t cope A girl who felt caught And thought no one could see That maybe one day she’ll be free.
NATALIE It’s so lovely that you’re sharing No, really, I’m all ears But where has all this caring been For sixteen years For all those years I’d pray that You’d go away for good Half the time afraid that you really would When I thought you might be dying I cried for all we’ve never be But there’ll be no more crying Not for me
DIANA Things will get better you’ll see
NATALIE Not for me
DIANA You’ll see.
NATALIE Not for me
DIANA You’ll see
NATALIE Not for me
DIANA You’ll see
NATALIE Not for me
DIANA You’ll see
Maybe we can’t be okay But maybe we’re tough and we’ll try anyway We’ll live with what’s real Let go of what’s past And maybe I’ll see you at last
We tried to give you a normal life. I realize now, I have no clue what that is.
NATALIE I don’t need a life that’s normal That’s way too far away But something next to normal Would be okay Yeah, something next to normal That’s the thing I’d like to try Close enough to normal To get by
