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
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 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, 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, or money used with pneumonic 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 always 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, one day we'll 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
