If that apology from you meant anything
|
I'd accept it now with grace
|
Well you and I both know its just a ployfor you to save some face
|
If you had any self respect you'd turn yourself in for your crime
|
Everytime you tell yourself its alright
|
Everytime you go to sleep at night
|
Everytime you tell yourself its alright
|
It just becomes a bigger lie
|
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
|
|
In between days full of hypertension
|
Basking in the memories you hold so dear
|
Remember the vibrant, defining moments
|
The king making manoeuvres and the grand ideas
|
I'm glad to see the world through a different window
|
Where glory doesn't colour every move I make
|
No lies, no fiction, no rose pink lens
|
Just a truthful look at the love I gave to you
|
|
Everytime you tell yourself its alright
|
Everytime you go to sleep at night
|
Everytime you tell yourself its alright
|
It just becomes a bigger lie
|
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
|
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
|
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
|
|
Evergreen saints pray for natures sinners
|
Preserving every petal that was so hard won
|
Fold into her chest in a mother's crutch
|
Relish in the lure of a distant sun
|
Now I'm glad to see the world through the winter palette
|
Where colour wheels stall between the green and blue
|
No white, no snow melt, no ice bound lakes
|
Just bird song strung across the cobalt blue, boy
|
|
Everytime you tell yourself its alright
|
Everytime you kiss your kids goodnight
|
Everytime you tell yourself its alright
|
It just becomes a bigger lie
|
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
|
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
|
