[Verse 1]
You can wash out your lying eyes
In that bathroom down the hall
I guess I shouldn't be surprised
Guess I didn't know you at all
But I can picture you inside some stranger's house
Inside some stranger's bed
You're trying to seem mysterious
The covers pulled over your head
[Chorus]
It's alright, lady liberty
It's just too bad you couldn't do the same for me
[Verse 2]
You say you've been used, you've been betrayed
Yeah, and that old bed's been newly made
So just stick around awhile with me
Until you're strong enough to leave
'Cause I can picture you the first time
You decide to spend the night
You wonder if you should give me a call
And ask me if it's alright
[Chorus]
Yeah, it's alright, lady liberty
It's just too bad you couldn't do the same for me
[Verse 3]
Don't call me or send me any more letters, baby
I just can't stand to see your hand writing things that you don't mean
I waited, our faded love growing even more faded
The shades were down, I faced the wall, and I could hear you breathing
I tried to bring us back to life
I gave my heart so many times
And was it worth it after all?
There is a bathroom down the hall
[Outro]
There is a bathroom down the hall
There is a bathroom down the hall
And I guess I didn't know you at all
I guess I didn't know you at all
Lady liberty, liberty, liberty
Maybe it's time to leave
