ribbon bows

a pretty picture of your older sister that i will hide beneath my bed but

your broken mother

about the cover

you don't show your face around these parts no more

was it really worth it all

to give up laughter in the hall?

and did you cut your ribbon bows

for the man

for the man that seems to know?

you let him use you

you let him cut you down. until your soul was darker than the well

but i still love you. i still have your picture by my bed

and it greets me every morning

was it really worth it all

to give up laughter in the hall?

and did you cut your ribbon bows

for the man

for the man who seems to know?

did he promise did he say

that you'd be home again some day?

'cause while the sun it finally sets. we'll find you drowning

you don't say

but those words hurt anyways. to california to get your career well on its way

you'll burn out bright love

but do you know which part to give away?

of the star

of the star

that you have sold for fame?
