Smiling Elizabeth Stanley (Ft. Original Broadway Cast of Jagged Little Pill)

This is a life of extremes
Both sides are slippery and enticing
These are my places off the rails

This loose recollection of a falling
Barely remember who I failed
I was just trying to keep it together

This is the first wave of my white flag
This is the sound of me hitting bottom
This, my surrender, if that’s what you call it
And the anatomy of my crash

And I, keep on smiling
Keep on moving
Can’t stand still

Me, the ceilingless great achiever
Me, the notorious, perfect mother
Lord to the ends of overwhelmed

This is the first wave of my white flag
This is the sound of me hitting bottom
This, my surrender, if that’s what you call it
And the anatomy of my crash
