Hawksley Workman - Oksana Lyrics

i just assumed that i would end up
with oksana baiul
i would stay out of the spotlight
and always be cool
always be ready to carry the groceries and be married
to drive you to practice
to watch you kicking asses
oh kerrigan and harding
were not even worth starting to pretend like they were even there
triple axels fill the air

and now i hear that you've been drinking
and slowly falling apart
it's hard to hear the news
it's not what we expect of you
i know it's tough when all you've lived for
is abruptly taken away
you were too young to see
what a head f-ck this would turn out
would turn out to be

you loved the children of odessa
oksana baiul
you never listened to the doctors
you just kept pushing through
at night we'd lay there in quiet
trying not to cry
it felt like so much to carry
it's not like being married solves the problems you never asked for
your own private disaster
don't be embarrassed my baby
it'll only drive you crazy

and now i hear that you've been drinking
and slowly falling apart
it's hard to hear the news
it's not what we expect of you
i know it's tough when all you've lived for
is abruptly taken away
you were too young to see
what a head f-ck this would turn out
would turn out to be
