Her head hits the pillow, a shallow pool
Between the rivers of alcohol, where it's always cool
The car sounds outside are quiet like her pretty jokes
She always forgets, when she forgets
When she forgets, the whole world forgets

Heart starts off brave, but it can't hide
Despair leaves you breathless like the endless tide
Yeah her head hits the pillow, the river of faces
Then the music stops, we take our places
The last look on her face was the purest memory
Rain falls in this place when she forgets
When she forgets, the whole world forgets

The measure of you is how well you keep your pride
Despite your worthlessness
Oh baby, the measure of you
Is how well you keep your pride
