She's lost a lot of herself that time cannot replace Bits and pieces of herself gone without a trace She's been holding on to everything that happened to be there She's all used up and forgotten and scatterd eveerywhere She's not an angel, so don't look for her wings She's a hurtin woman who lives the song she sings She learned them all the hard way on the streets all alone That's why it's hard to tell the singer from the song One by one her young years were gone before she knew Wasted on some loser who was only walking through Each time her bruised and lonely heart tried to break the fall Rather put the pieces of the life on the wall She's not an angel, so don't look for her wings She's a hurtin woman who lives the song she sings She learned them all the hard way on the streets all alone That's why it's hard to tell the singer from the song That's why it's hard to tell the singer from the song
