|
She might cry herself to sleep tonight |
|
You might act like everything feels alright |
|
I might bite my lip, like the silent type |
|
You might make a fist, like you trying to fight |
|
Got ghosts that haunt that home |
|
And if you didn't want that known then don't put it on a throne |
|
You separate the foe from the friend by the showmanship |
|
And the bones that don't bend |
|
So now I'm studying your moves like |
|
You the only one that knew how to do right |
|
Present it with a sleeve of success |
|
Like we all benefit if you achieve and progress |
|
Maybe you're right maybe I'm just left but |
|
Unless you walk a flight in my steps but |
|
Unless you slept a night in my nest |
|
You shouldn't waste your breath to criticize my mess |
|
I love you like a brother |
|
Even though I'm not your brother |
|
We all got a few flaws |
|
But let's try not to get too lost in the applause |
|
I love you like a sister |
|
Even though you're not my sister |
|
We all got a few flaws |
|
But let's try not to get too lost |
|
Used to be rock, but now it's roll |
|
Looking at the clock and the remote control |
|
The circle contracts till you all alone |
|
I put that on the people you've outgrown |
|
And maybe it was all for show |
|
But it was so convincing that the ground got cold |
|
I guess anything's possible, under a spotlight we all got a note to hold |
|
It goes |
|
Don't throw no stones if you're living in a fish bowl |
|
Blow a kiss though |
|
Where the aim is based on which way the wind floats |
|
And pride is a bottle on a fence post |
|
I keep the shoes laced up |
|
In case the people I love come to shoot the place up |
|
I know we ain't cut from the same cloth |
|
But a lot of those fights were just to say we fought |
|
The mother turns, life is fragile |
|
The struggle burns from inside of the candle |
|
It doesn't matter how far you run from it, you're still gonna find it |
|
You come from it |
|
And even though we all equivalent |
|
We gotta, hold on to the differences |
|
We gotta, stand up for what we won't fall for |
|
Let's give a round of applause for |
|
All of all of y'all |
|
I love you like a brother |
|
Even though I'm not your brother |
|
We all got a few flaws |
|
But let's try not to get too lost in the applause |
|
I love you like a sister |
|
Even though you're not my sister |
|
We all got a few flaws |
|
But let's try not to get too lost |
