James Blunt - Miss America lyrics

Did someone give you something to
Help you ease the pain?
Like the liquor in the bottle
We watched you slip away
And I feel as if I know you
Through the bars of a song
Always surrounded but alone

Was the picture in the paper
Not the face you recognise?
Did the make up never make up
For the pain behind your eyes?
Cos I feel as if I know
When you’re on my silver screen
But I don’t know the dark
Places that you’ve been

Does another voice sing in
Heaven’s choir tonight
To fill the silence left behind?
And I don’t know what goes on in your mind
I’m sure it’s enough to make me cry
Someday we’ll find you lived forever

But no goodbyes
You’ll always be Miss America
We watched you fly
But nothing’s free Miss America
And as you fall apart, we just call it art
Was it so hard to breathe?
