In Spite of Herself... Lyrics

In spite of herself she continued the story
She continued the wanting, the needing
Never quite receivingInside of her she'll she kept her emotion
She could only imagine the feelings
But never quite reach themAnd she lies as she leads you away
And she smiles as she fades awayDespite 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 soulIf 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 belongsAnd she lies if she says she's okay
And she smiles as she fadesIn spite of herself she continued the story
She continued the wanting, needing
Never quite receivingAnd 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
