Are you there? Say a prayer for the Pretender. Who started out so young and strong Only to surrender. - Jackson Browne

When you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger.
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool.
So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger,
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life
Like a fountain from a pool.

Make it on your own if you think you can.
If you see somewhere to go, I understand.

And their feathers once so fine grew torn and tattered
And in the end they traded their tired wings
For the resignation that living brings.
