Living in Exile - Sleater-Kinney

Once I had all, had everything

The real princess, the ruling queen

I walked with arrogance, with vanity

But I made sure my heart they wouldn’t see

One day I woke up, all was gone

The castle, kingdom, all were lost

Now I have nothing left, nowhere to go

And my heart that’s full of doubt is all I’ve left to show

She is living in exile

She is living in exile

I’ll walk 3,000 lonely miles

I’ll start a new life on my own

Don’t know what I’m waiting for but when it comes

You know that I’ll be ready, a new woman

She is living in exile

She is living in exile

Nothing left but denial

She is living in exile

I know my head is my worst enemy

Swallowed too much of it and started to believe

I know my heart is my worst enemy

Swallowed too much of it and started to believe
