Annabel's Dilemma

[Verse 1]

There's a little lake of tears in the middle of the kitchen table

And she's watching as another drips from his nose into the deep

And he keeps talking and talking and talking

But talk is cheap and weak and watered down

Just another awkward sound she doesn't need to hear

[Pre-Chorus]

He's just a shadow, only half a man

And she can hardly muster even half a damn about this

Sorry situation, in the back room kids are watching frozen

Fate's our only opponent

[Chorus]

Hey, Annabel, whatcha gonna do girl?

Hey, Annabel, whatcha gonna do now?

Hey, Annabel, whatcha gonna do girl?

Hey, Annabel, whatcha gonna do now?

(Hey)

[Interlude]

(Don't lose, don't lose, don't lose it)

Put your brave face on

[Verse 2]

There's only so many times a grown woman can swallow this Hallowness

Before her itchy trigger finger starts to wake her in the dead of night

And she goes walking and walking and walking

But these old streets don't change, there's no metamorphosis here

Were you really gonna wait until the coast was clear?

Were you really gonna wait, wait, wait?

[Pre-Chorus]

She's just a shadow, only half a human

Living a half life inside the institution of what?

Will she only ever get what she's got?

With the voices in her head, oh screaming

[Chorus]

Hey, Annabel, whatcha gonna do girl?

Hey, Annabel, whatcha gonna do now?

Hey, Annabel, whatcha gonna do girl?

Hey, Annabel, whatcha gonna do now?

[Interlude]

(Don't lose, don't lose, don't lose it)

In agreed on silence

Her hands are shaking to hard to hold a secret cigarette

Strange kind of violence

When the blows never land and the bloods never let

In agreed on silence

Her hands are shaking to hard to hold a secret cigarette

Strange kind of violence

When the blows never land

Annabel, you're one of the best

We'll always love you even if he don't

We'll always love you even when he won't

Oh Annabel, you're one of the best

Only a winner on a losing stresak

And when you can't find strength, doesn't mean your weak

Oh Annabel

These were always someone else's decisions

This was always someone else's life

These were always someone else's decisions

This was always someone else's life

These were always someone else's problems

This was always someone else's wife

This was always someone else's husband

It was always someone else's wife
