Lyrics 
 
She's an extraordinary girl 
In an ordinary world 
And she can't seem to get away 
He lacks the courage in his mind 
like a child left behind 
like a pet left in the rain 
 
she's all alone again 
wiping the tears from her eyes 
some days he feels like dying 
she gets so sick of crying 
 
she sees the mirror of herself 
an image she wants to tell 
to anyone willing to buy 
he steals the image in her kiss 
from her heart's apocalypse 
from the one called whatsername 
 
she's all alone again 
wiping the tears from her eyes 
some days he feels like dying 
some days it's not worth trying 
now that they both are finding 
she gets so sick of crying
