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 it tastes all longing

Words are remembered: us and them, you love, you despise


I've seen the years go by in triple lines of gray

Oh, you were always on the ground

You're always on the ground

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 to a

Soft and warm, I know this all I need, why don't we 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 open sheep-skin

You can never describe the future, but you can paint the past

In shades of blue, or money used with neumonic charm


God, shake this sickness, won't this decade ever end?

Oh, it's be going on for years

Been happening for years

Can't face the truth, why can't things just be 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 to a

Soft and warm, I know this all I need, why don't we 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
