We've all got to play dead for our own good sometimes
Close our hearts and our minds and our eyes
And make out that we've crossed the lines
Into the next realm
We've dropped the helm
We've all got to retreat into our own wood sometimes
Where your mother, your brother and every other
Can prop you up like back in old times
So you climb up
To the top of the tower you descended
And don't come back down until you are mended
And regale your loved ones with how it all ended
And you will be fine
But for now
The poets' words are contradictions in terms and you curse their rhyme
'Cause you have 'loved and lost' and you feel star-crossed and you search to find
Any sweetness in your sorrow
Won't see you tomorrow
Well fare thee well, my first and fairest
I need time
You were the best, the dearest, the one I held nearest
Every joy be thine
But I need to
Climb up to the top of the tower I descended
And don't come back down until I have mended
And regale my loved ones with how it all ended
And I will be fine
But for now
When "you've lost him" feels like you've lost a limb
And when "you can get another" feels like 'why bother?'
When hindsight's review leaves you painted the fool
When cruel to be kind feels like cruel to be cruel
You climb up
To the top of the tower you descended
And don't come back down until you are mended
And regale your loved ones with how it all ended
And you will be fine
But for now
You will be fine but for now
You will be fine but for now
It's gonna take time
