In Spite Of Herself Lyrics - The Nixons

In spite of herself she continued the story 

She continued the wanting, the needing 

Never quite receiving 

Inside of her she'll she kept her emotion 

She could only imagine the feelings 

But never quite reach them 

And she lies as she leads you away 

And she smiles as she fades away 

Despite all her burns she went straight to the fire 

And the flame took the skin from the bone 

And the bone from the heart and the soul 

If I could find a way to relieve all the hurting 

I'd take all of the joy from the sky 

And put it back where it belongs 

And she lies if she says she's okay 

And she smiles as she fades 

In spite of herself she continued the story 

She continued the wanting, needing 

Never quite receiving 

And she lies if she says she's okay 

And she smile as she fades 

And she lies as she fades 

And she cries as she fades away
