Put your shoes on, put your makeup on
Wear a smile, you put your fake it on
And every night I hear you venting high
You're hanging it out on the dirty laundry line

No one says you've got it easy now
But your defense, it seems to please you somehow
And every night I hear you venting high
You're hanging it out on the dirty laundry line

And it seems to me you don't care
You just hang it there, hang it on the dirty laundry line
You don't mind, everyone can see
Everybody sees your pain, ain't no shame
It's just flying there, flying like a kite in the rain

I believe we make our own road
With a little help, we can carry this load
But so many things are out of your control
And it's breaking my heart, but I want you to know

That I really want to be there
At the same time, I'm tangled in your dirty laundry line
You don't care, you just hang it there
Everybody sees your pain, ain't no shame
It's just flying there, flying like a kite in the rain

I know I'm your shoulder (girl I am your shoulder)
You're leaning too hard now (girl is falling over)
I know I'm your shelter (pack it up babe,
find another way, save it till the drama is over)

And it seems to me you don't care…
You just hang it there, hang it on the dirty laundry line
You don't mind, everyone can see
Everybody sees your pain, ain't no shame
It's just flying there, flying like a kite in the rain
My, oh my, does it make you cry?
To see it on the dirty laundry line
