Alice knows the finer things in life are waiting for her
But skinny lies eat her alive
She writes her name on both her arms
As deep as you could know her
With silver knives, but she won't cry
A day alone can feel so heavy
And life is hard enough already
I wish that she could see
She matters to me
The world's a better place to be
Since Alice started happening to me
You never know the place she goes when left to her devices
It's self-assault, but it's not her fault
She smiles and she won't complain
I wanna tell her that it's okay to live in the grey
'Cause she wants so bad to feel steady
Spin the globe and throw confetti
I wish that she could see
As shitty as it seems
The world's a better place to be
Since Alice started happening to me
Stay (stay)
'Cause everybody loves you
Everybody was you
Misguided by the shame
Stay (stay)
Put it all behind you
Put it all behind you
Don't fade
A day alone can feel so heavy
And life is hard enough already
I wish that she could see
She matters to me
The world's a better place to be
Since Alice started happening
Alice started happening
Alice started happening
Alice started happening to me
