lyrics
We are so safe from harm
Still you tell me we pretend (that we are)
Lost and cold, poor and old,
A fuck off fear you'll regret.
This is gold as we unfold
Still you try to break it down (and you are)
Far too proud so wear your frown
For we see you're deceiving yourself.
Lay me down
Take me round
To her sister's house.
There she waits
With a smile on her face
For the storm in the town where she was raised.
Made a promise that you've not kept,
Still you smile in the hope we'll forget
So you know once I knew a man just like you
Spoke such lies that he swore were so true.
(He said) God was a bitter man
With souls he would choose
But God, was he a bitter man like you.
I'm sorry it's been said
Take my words and be red
With the rage of a pride
You can't have if you want
To get better, to be loved
Without fear from your mother
At least you have a reason to cry.
It's not too late to be happy inside.
Still you tell me we pretend (that we are)
Lost and cold, poor and old,
A fuck off fear you'll regret.
This is gold as we unfold
Still you try to break it down (and you are)
Far too proud so wear your frown
For we see you're deceiving yourself.
Lay me down
Take me round
To her sister's house.
There she waits
With a smile on her face
For the storm in the town where she was raised.
Made a promise that you've not kept,
Still you smile in the hope we'll forget
So you know once I knew a man just like you
Spoke such lies that he swore were so true.
(He said) God was a bitter man
With souls he would choose
But God, was he a bitter man like you.
I'm sorry it's been said
Take my words and be red
With the rage of a pride
You can't have if you want
To get better, to be loved
Without fear from your mother
At least you have a reason to cry.
It's not too late to be happy inside.
