Alice

Fourteen years and counting, and bolder every day She spends her hours reading, and hides herself away She sits there with those headphones on and fills her life with Grace And Alice is her holy grail No she'll never let go of her lover She will never let go of her friend She'll never get over Alice And the hurt may never mend Oh she'll never stop living stories But the pages blind her view So maybe she just wasn't watching When Alice found someone new A glass of wine for breakfast An early end to the day She hears familiar footsteps And looks the other way She hasn't swapped a word with her since that day in June A fleeting glance will have to do No she'll never let go of her lover She will never let go of her friend She'll never get over Alice And the hurt may never mend Oh she'll never stop living stories But the pages blind her view So maybe she just wasn't watching When Alice found someone new So give me one good reason why she shouldn't just give up now (For all the good it can do) Give me one good reason why she shouldn't just give up now Cos sometimes making the effort just brings you down, Sometimes making the effort just brings you down Brings you down No she'll never let go of her lover She will never let go of her friend She'll never get over Alice And the hurt may never mend Oh she'll never stop living stories But the pages blind her view So maybe she just wasn't watching When Alice found someone new
