MEG'S GARDENS

once I was one of the beautiful people
fawned over every waking minute of the day
followed by fellows who wanted to be with me
and others who wanted to be me in the worst way

crowned me a queen
gave me a thrown
always there
so why was I so alone?

once I belonged with the beautiful people
they'd laugh when I'd smile, cry when I'd frown
but the worst thing about being somebody's steeple
is I couldn't tell if they wanted me or my crown

staggering home
inside, alone
hearts beat a song
in monotone

and from afar I saw your face in the crowd
another star shining even brighter than me
but you didn't notice for I'd given it all up
to see if there's more meaning in obscurity

struggle to live
bills overdue
now I can't keep up
with you

so I watch you go with the beautiful people
and I wonder if I see something in your eyes
I wrote this song for you, I thought you'd understand
there is a difference between truth and lies
but how do we become so wise

once I was one of the beautiful people
