Buildings and Grounds
People Say
People say she's crazy
But they don't ask why
People think she's tired
When they see her eyes
How can I believe them
When they don't ask why
How can I believe them
They don't even try
All of the love and laughter
That she holds inside
I know the secret she's after
It got left behind
People say she's angry
They don't understand
Everything just fell apart
And crumbled in her hands
Now she's just a stranger
Biding her own time
Faces wouldn't change her
Even when they tried
All of the love and laughter
That she holds inside
I know the secret she's after
It got left behind
Even lonely stars will shine.
People say she's broken
But they look away
They don't know she's workin'
Harder every day
I will never reach her
We just grew apart
She will just deceive them
Soon she'll be a star
All of the love and laughter
That she holds inside
I know the secret she's after
It got left behind.
Even sadder stars will shine
