Song is about a girl who hides behind her smile. Seemingly happy and carefree on the outside while falling to pieces secretly on the inside.

If You're Down And Out, Tell Me What You've Been Thinking About?I'm So Lonely It Hurts, Like A Lightning Bolt Through A Heart of Stone?If You're Not Careful, It'll Cut You Right To The Bone??
What Goes Up Comes Down And What You Put Out, It Will Come Back Around?
But You're Such A Heartbreaker, I Wouldn't Wish Your Fate Upon Another's Soul?
Always Trample Your Seeds Right Before They Grow
??All Her Fairy Tales End Up Just Bad Dreams, Watch Her Laugh Her Tears Away?
Hysterically Speaking?
And She Drowns In Her Own Fears, Then The Sky Rips Open
If Your Luck Runs Low, No Need To Be Bitter You Just Let Things Go
?But You Tend To Worry a Lot, Nobody's Got The Answers - Be It Black Or White?
The Dispellers, Fortune Tellers Seldom Get Things Right
?
All Her Fairy Tales End Up Just Bad Dreams, Watch Her Laugh Her Tears Away?Hysterically Speaking?
And She Drowns In Her Own Fears, Then The Sky Rips Open
Some Of Us Have It Hard, Some Of Us Easy Living?
Nothing's Ever Perfect, Be We Do With What We're Given??
When You're Down And Out, Can You Tell Me What You've Been Thinking About?
Cause I'm So Lonely It Hurts, Like A Lightning Bolt Through A Heart of Stone
?If You're Not Careful It'll Cut You Right To The Bone??
All Her Fairy Tales End Up Just Bad Dreams, Watch Her Laugh Her Tears Away
?Hysterically Speaking?And She Drowns In Her Own Fears, Then The Sky Rips Open
Then The Sky Rips Open
