Today everything's shiny and perfect and warm and pure
This smile on her face has been too long comin,
didn't know how much more she could endure
You promised her the world and you lit up her eyes
Brought hope to something she thought was dead
This bitter, broken girl, she didn't realize
you were just fillin' up her head
Now she climbs, high, so high
just to reach you, just to see you
Seems she's running in circles chasin herself around
just to pin down
what she feels for you
Here she goes go again, here she goes
up the down escalator
Here she goes again, but she knows
when she's tired of runnin' where it's gonna take her
Love is fleeting,
escaping, departing like a coward
Her heart is bleeding,
descending, sinking downward
You, you build her up
tell her everything you think she wants to hear
That's not fair, you won't pay up
and when she needs you, you disappear
Oh here she goes again, here she goes
up the down escalator
Look, there she goes again, but she knows
when she gets tired where it'll take her
Love is fleeting,
escaping, departing like the coward you are
Can't you see her heart is bleeding
descending, sinking downward
down
so far.
