She Had It All

She’s graceful to the eye
Elegant and tall
To see her walking by
You’d think she had it all
But I see her all the time now
A little red around the eyes now
Even so it doesn’t show
'Till I hear it in her words there
Just a little bit slurred there
Then I know, I know
That she’s drinking again
Started sinking again
What’s she sinking within?
Well, I don’t know
But she’s drinking again
Started sinking again
What’s she thinking of then?
Well, I don’t know
None of this is new
It all went down before
When she made it through
I thought she knew the score
But she’s nothing left to hope with
'Cause it’s such a lot to cope with
Even still, I think she will
'Cause she’s trying really hard now
Letting down her guard now
Until, until
She starts drinking again
She starts sinking again
What’s she sinking within?
I don’t know
But she’s drinking again
Started sinking again
What’s she thinking of then?
Well, I don’t know
But she dreamed of being so fine
And she dreamed of having someone by her side
And even when her dream had died
Still she dreamed that she could somehow make it right
Lipstick smudging her face
Hair all over the place
They say she’s a disgrace
But they don’t know
If she’s drinkin' a lot
And if she says that she’s not
Is she able to stop?
I don’t know, I don’t know
