[Verse] In a cluttered old apartment by the railway's rusty line Wanda sits alone Feeding Mischa 'neath the moon's bright shine No children at her knee Just memories left to rust Her felines are her family In them she places trust [Verse 2] Rumors in the alley tell of whispers in the dark Of pandemics and plagues Leaving fear's deep scar Neighbors point their fingers Ignorance makes its claim Blaming Wanda's sorrow as the spark for this cruel flame [Chorus] Childless cat ladies doomed Wearing despair's tight chain Unspoken sins cast out In a world gone quite insane Forgive the lonesome hearts In the midnight's silent thrall They never meant to hurt Just trying to love through it all [Verse 3] A cough echoes in the night Mischa's eyes so dim Wanda feels the weight A fear that lies within The blaming eyes The muttered words They haunt her every view She never meant to spread the pain But what else could she do? [Bridge] The world outside her window It spins a tale so grim Of those who are alone And shadows deep and thin Yet hope within her whispers As tender as the dawn One day they'll understand When all the fear is gone [Chorus] Childless cat ladies doomed Wearing despair's tight chain Unspoken sins cast out In a world gone quite insane Forgive the lonesome hearts In the midnight's silent thrall They never meant to hurt Just trying to love through it all
