lyrics
My words were all wrong, when i sat you down and i said i thought i could love you less
My face was so strong, when i realised that i could be the very thing you want from me.
But these blankets they hold, this precious porcelain it's laying silently within us all
They jump and they fold, these torrid little lies under the lines that we uphold.
This house it turned to crystal, and my sister well i'll miss her,
but i didnt think i'd handle it at all.
when you consider all the beatings, and the fancy lightfoot fleeting,
they make you feel again, but you just want the war.
but they couldn't lock it up, and they couldn't turn to god,
before the righteous hand, of all that they'd held unto their names.
And it aches..
and i cant stop it move or shake,
It makes the same mistake, i write my fate,
I know that in these trends we bend and shape,
God knows! i'd write it all if it were truth being told….
My words were all wrong, when i sat you down and i said i thought i could love you less
My face was so strong, when i realised that i could be the very thing you want from me.
But these blankets they hold, this precious porcelain it's laying silently within us all
They jump and they fold, these torrid little lies under the lines that we uphold.
And the people criticised, but this lack of thought is their demise,
they never understand, or want to play the game.
cus it's a cloud that needs releasing, no more territory breaching,
no more people holding money to a name.
And it aches..
and i cant stop it move or shake,
It makes the same mistake, i write my fate,
I know that in these trends we bend and shape,
God knows! i'd write it all if it were truth being told….
