She was a loner type Found it was easier that way With no one to break the peace she gained From learning to walk away
And he was without good reason For changing her life the way he did He took her for everything Stripped her of dignity
It’s a lonely life Never that easy these days The money to pay the bills It just don’t come easily And he was a man that didn’t care anyway He’d just play the clown and sit around all day
With an atmosphere You could have cut it with a knife
It’s the fool in me It wouldn’t be hard to see it Others can hide themselves away I have to live with it Nobody wants left on a fence Or spiritually die in ignorance It’s all just a chance you take Reality’s final break
With an atmosphere You could have cut it with a knife
