[Verse 1]
She stumbled into the woods one day
And she couldn't get herself out
The trees grew taller, the branches longer
And all she could do was shout
She screamed and screamed until her voice turned black
But no one could hear her cries
Truth is nobody listened
Because all she ever told were lies
But the forest it had a magic plant
She used to drink her tears away
She drank it dry till the forest died
And she washed up on a bay
The sand was soft and the sun was warm
And she thought she could find her way home
The more she tried the more she cried
And realized she was all alone
[Chorus]
When there's no way out and you're too far in
Do you want it to end or begin again?
When you think it's going to stop
You go right back to the start
When you don't know where you've been or where you are
It's the art of not falling apart
[Verse 2]
She craved and craved that forest plant
But it didn't grow on the sand
She grew weaker and started to crumble
Until she could hardly stand
Take me back to the motherland
She said as she fell to her knees
Looked up to the heavens
And prayed to god oh god oh please
[Chorus]
When there's no way out and you're too far in
Do you want it to end or begin again?
When you think it's going to stop
You go right back to the start
When you don't know where you've been or where you are
It's the art of not falling apart
[Bridge]
There's a place that she goes that nobody knows
Where no one gets to see inside her mind
This place that she goes, with all its highs and lows
You'll be sure to find her there another time, another time
[Chorus]
When there's no way out and you're too far in
Do you want it to end or begin again?
When you think it's going to stop
You go right back to the start
When you don't know where you've been or where you are
When there's no way out and you're too far in
Do you want it to end or begin again?
When you think it's going to stop
You go right back to the start
When you don't know where you've been or where you are
It's the art of not falling, the art of not falling apart
