From the recording Long Story Short
Lyrics
SHE CAME UNDONE
V1
She could have lied to herself
That she didn’t need help
And maybe survived for a while
Never asked the question
That rarely gets mentioned
And missed the whole point by a mile.
Pre - Chorus
She could have said
That she was misled
That she didn’t understand what she’d done
Was it emotional treason?
Or was there a reason
Chorus
She came undone
She came undone
V2
He was raised in the South
Full of guilt full of doubt
Perfect for her they both knew
She begged she pleaded
He got what she needed
Her favorite mood was blue
Pre-Chorus
And every time
He would score a dime
In her dreams they would lie in the sun
But when she awoke
She was stranded and broke
Chorus
She came undone
She came undone
Bridge
Oh oh oh
He loved her so
Oh oh oh
He let her go
V3
The bus from Atlanta
Arrived in Savannah
A little past two a.m.
He felt groggy and sad
Out on Oglethorpe Ave
With a letter he never would send
Pre-Chorus
In the land of Nod
There is no God
If there is he’s on the run
Alone in their flat
Flat on her back
Chorus
She came undone
She came undone
Bridge
Oh oh oh
He loved her so
Oh oh oh
