They Dress You Up Lyrics - Singles - Down With Me

I really hope you're happy, 

And really that's no lie, 

But last night when I saw you I just 

Couldn't see the sparkle 

In your eyes. 

I couldn't hear your laugh. 

I couldn't see that smile. 

Because I just couldn't focus 

Past your glass of wine. 

The one that you deemed garbage, but 

The best they've got 

In this shithole dive. 

The whole town sunk beneath you, 

Then swallowed me inside. 

Now you walk the walk, 

Talk the talk, 

Dress the part, 

In someone else's shoes, and words, 

And clothes they dress you up in, 

And it breaks my heart. 

The you I knew is gone. 

The hills I once called home 

Are dead with silence. 

They just don't sing 

The way they used to. 

The golden glow is gone. 

The magic left with you. 

I thought I caught a glimpse of you. 

A few times today 

In window glass, a bus that passed, 

The mirror with which I'm standing 

Face to face. 

But somehow you were lost 

Beneath a veil of age. 

Now you walk the walk, 

Talk the talk, 

Dress the part, 

In someone else's shoes, and words, 

And clothes they dress you up in, 

And it breaks my heart. 

The you I knew is gone.
