Morning light lands on her face As another day begins In her eyes there's a story of a lover Who's been disappointed once again So she combs her, she'll wash her face Sing her favorite song as she forces out a smile Now the song's the same but her world has changed And everything she held so dear it's all on trial She said love, I don't need it anymore She said love, it lies in pieces on the floor Love, I don't need it anymore She said love, it keeps walking out that door Daydream weaver, paints a picture perfect in her mind Make believe, the author of a story Where the ending always turns out fine (right) So she takes a drag of a cigarette With her head in her hands she keeps askin' why All the bad luck comes as good love goes She's cryin' up a river But that river's about to run dry
