Nobody's

One year later I saw her
Wearing her face in a strange disguise
She carried the smile that they taught her
But she gives it away at the edge of her eyes

Didn't I see the sun shine through the rain before?
Well she's crying and she knows it
She's crying and she shows it on the outside now
Whatever happened to the girl that was?
Did she go inside because it's cold out here?

Sooner or later she told me
"David, I'm in love again, truly this time"
"There's nothing at home left to hold me
The city's just great and the world treats me fine"

Didn't she think that I'd heard that old refrain before?
Well she's lying and she knows it
She's lying and she shows it on the outside now
Whatever happened to the girl that was?
Did she go inside because it's cold out here?

So many men have deceived her
Others will come and she'll take what she can
She hides the hurt as they leave her
Then she takes everything that her system can stand

Didn't she think that I'd seen someone in pain before?
Well she's dying and she knows it
She's dying and she shows it on the outside now
Whatever happened to the girl that was?
Did she go inside because it's cold out here?
