Everyone loves a man who lets the hardest people
Build him up and cut him down to lovable size
And somebody holds a candle, by right of taste or longing
Worlds of men, blurred us and them
You love, you despise
I've seen the years go by in triple lines of gray
Oh you were always underground
You were always underground
If I could catch you I would hold you for a day
Oh won't you do this when you can? Do what you can
I've seen the hardest people soften in the spotlight
Won't you stop and breathe, tell me what you want to feel
I could draw on all these things
Baby I feel this beauty pull me two ways
Soft and warm, I know this is all I need
One day we will learn to grieve
Baby I'd leave you for the person you used to be
Everyone has a secret, so bite your mother tongue
And let the truth bleed over you, you wolf in sheep skin
You can never describe the future, but you can paint the past
In shades of blue, old money hues with new money charm
God shake this sickness, won't this decade ever end?
Oh it's been going on for years
Been happening for years
Can't face the truth, why can't things always just begin?
Because they always end in tears, they always end in tears
I've seen the hardest people soften in the spotlight
Won't you stop and breathe, tell me what you want to feel
I could draw on all these things
Baby I feel this beauty pull me two ways
Soft and warm, I know this is all I need
One day we will learn to grieve
Baby I'd leave you for the person you used to be
You are so young, so feel alive
And one day you will live on your own
You are so young, so feel alive
And one day you will live on your own
You are so young, so feel alive
And one day you will live on your own
You are so young, so feel alive
And one day you will live on your own
And you are so young, so feel alive
And one day you will live on your
