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
