You always say what you're thinking
With not a thought spared for tact
And I know how people change
But don't you dare change that
You put an arm round our shoulders
Though your own weighed you down
A child of neglect
You grew into a saint for this house
And the tiny stones
Embedded in our walls won't see out time
No one by one, they'll loose and fall
But that won't change what we shared inside
You are first to play it down
But you're the centre we all find
No we can't move whithout you precious spine
So we barricade ourselves inside
Because that's what you do when things turn shite
And I know it could be worse
But I don't need to hear it a thousand times
I know that it's well you mean
But don't cross the room to be heard, to be seen
Say anything other than I'm sorry and suprise me at least
And the tiny stones
Embedded in our walls won't see out time
No one by one, they'll loose and fall
But that won't change what we shared inside
You are first to play it down
But you're the centre we all find
No we can't move whithout you precious spine
Those pills you take
They are sucking the life from you
That's not your coloring
It's not a palour we recognise
But enough in time will push the ill aside
Rewind, rewind to how simple our life was
And the tiny stones
Embedded in our walls won't see out time
No one by one, they'll loose and fall
But that won't change what we shared inside
You are first to play it down
But you're the centre we all find
No we can't move whithout you precious spine.
