Alice - GoodBooks

Fourteen years and counting, and bolder every day

She spends her hours reading, and hides herself away

She sits there with those headphones on and fills her life with Grace

And Alice is her holy grail

No she’ll never let go of her lover

She will never let go of her friend

She’ll never get over Alice

And the hurt may never mend

Oh she’ll never stop living stories

But the pages blind her view

So maybe she just wasn’t watching

When Alice found someone new

A glass of wine for breakfast

An early end to the day

She hears familiar footsteps

And looks the other way

She hasn’t swapped a word with her since that day in June

A fleeting glance will have to do

No she’ll never let go of her lover

She will never let go of her friend

She’ll never get over Alice

And the hurt may never mend

Oh she’ll never stop living stories

But the pages blind her view

So maybe she just wasn’t watching

When Alice found someone new

So give me one good reason why she shouldn’t just give up now

(for all the good it can do)

Give me one good reason why she shouldn’t just give up now

Cos sometimes making the effort just brings you down

Sometimes making the effort just brings you down

Brings you down

No she’ll never let go of her lover

She will never let go of her friend

She’ll never get over Alice

And the hurt may never mend

Oh she’ll never stop living stories

But the pages blind her view

So maybe she just wasn’t watching

When Alice found someone new
