Lyrics
Better ignore the before and after glances
As she passes through the air.
Better not ponder or wander too far down that thought,
To her it is not fair.
She didn?t ask for the task of breaking men down at the sound of her voice,
?Wearing beauty by choice?
presumed the crowd as they shouted at her proudly,
and, boy, they shouted loudly.
Chorus:
She moves so tenderly
That her footsteps can?t be seen
But her glow is fadin? fast.
Did she ever stand a chance?
She affects me, directs towards that place encased in stone.
She enslaves me, captivates my will, holds the deed, but does not know.
She watches her step, and looks in their eyes.
And still they hate her, they berate her,
She ain?t a fad, and ain?t it sad,
The flaws that could save her,
Are all she?ll never have.
Kinda makes ya laugh,
In the same way you?re tied up to the tracks
and there?s a train comin? fast.
Chorus
She moves so tenderly
That her footsteps can?t be seen
But her glow is fadin? fast.
Did she ever stand a chance?
Bridge:
For better or worse will I take her
I cannot watch all the pressure break her.
Standin? strong but for how long
I can?t be sure but there?s no doubt
?Neath the smile stands a pain that?s a million miles wide
and it tears her from the inside out.
Chorus
She moves so tenderly
That her footsteps can?t be seen
But her glow is fadin? fast.
Did she ever stand a chance?
