Did someone give you something
To help you ease the pain
Like the liquor in the bottle
We watched you slip away
And I feel as if I know you
Through the bars of a song
Always surrounded but alone
But no goodbyes you'll always be
Miss america we watched you fly
But nothing's free
Miss america and as you fall apart
We just call it odd
Was it so hard to breathe
Was the picture in the paper
Not the face you recognize
Did the make up never make up
For the pain behind your eyes
'cause I feel as if I know you
When you're on my silver screen
But I don't know the dark places that you've been
No goodbyes you'll always be
Miss america we watched you fly
But nothing's free
Miss america and as you fall apart
We just call it art
Was it so hard to breathe
There's another voice singing heaven's quiet night
To fill the silence left behind
And I don't know what goes on in your mind
But I'm sure it's enough to make me cry
Someday we'll find you'll live forever
But no goodbyes you'll always be
Miss america we watched you fly
But nothing's free
Miss america and as you fall apart
We just call it odd
Was it so hard to breathe
