They pull up their chairs to the table
She stares at the food on her plate
At the toast and the butter
Her father and mother, she pushes awayAnd they rise in the morning
And they sleep in the dark
And even though nobody's looking
She's falling apartShe gets home from school too early
And closes the door to her room
There's nothing inside her
She's weak and she's tired of feeling like thisAnd they rise in the morning
And they sleep in the dark
And even though nobody's looking
She's falling apartThey call her for dinner, she makes up a reason
She looks at her arms and she rolls down her sleeves
And her mother is starting to see through her lies
And last night her father had tears in his eyesAnd they rise in the morning
And they sleep in the dark
And even though nobody's looking
She's falling apartAnd we rise in the morning
And we sleep in the dark
And even though nobody's looking
She's falling apart, she's falling apart
