You never knew a loneliness like this
You never felt the pull of things untold
You always had your space to be ignored
and know that next week it begins again

it begins again
without a place for anyone
to make a solid state
for change to stay without a fight
and we’ll make this place alright
yeah we’ll make this place alright

You’ll never need my love it’s not the thing you wish for most
when certain sentiments are never wholly shared by both
if we could be so bold we’d appreciate the way we know we are.

There is a warmth I’ve felt knowing such a confidence
could have built us up as tall as buildings over mountains
and from here you can see the difference in between the way we are.

I need to make a home for no one else just for myself
omit the times we’ve not shown equal value in return
so when I hold you close I’ll appreciate much greater how we are.

When you say that I don’t care about you I just turn the light inside me off and
No one can quite reach me until I can feel the pressure subside on the outside
You have gotten better at your job and I have gotten better at pretending
I don’t want other people destroying all that I haven’t seen yet

I’ll just keep on biting on my tongue and holding in the things I should be saying
Knowing things are not the way they should be. Lacking in the skills to make decisions.
I think you should go away and think about the life you have created so you’ll
Stop blaming us for the little things that no one here can explain.

I’ve spent far too many waking hours concerning myself with silly questions
Wanting to have easy answers but too scared to ask the simple questions of you
What happens when I remain uncertain, when I don’t know how to believe in the
Things that you keep promising but never seem to manage it made

You sound so surprised, but I’m quite sure that you just don’t try
To break your habits and make this a pleasant place to be
The most you could do is to actually make use of us
And be the person you keep telling us you are.

Sit with my hands underneath my legs.
I’ll hold them down there now, I’m staring at you now.
How can we stay everything we’ve been
I’m not so sure now you’re settling me down.

I want you and I to stay here for a while
and I will be surprised and it will be OK
We’ve got heavy things weighing on us now
but it can’t pull us down and we can be OK

Hold my voice much steadier than yours
I’ll be your left hand side much stronger than before
this cannot be a choice that you can make anymore

I want you and I to stay here for a while
and I will be surprised and it will be OK
We’ve got heavy things weighing on us now
but it can’t pull us down and we can be OK

(I never needed the time that you made for me
I never needed your heart, I never needed you to stay
I never needed the words you said to me
I didn’t really believe you that much anyway.)

In the end you’ll find that nothing ever changes
In the end I’m sure we’ll find it’s all the same.

Silly girl, you should have known, this won’t all go work out fine.
You should have lied now you can’t believe this is more than you can shake
There is no point in getting away when you’ve seen it all before
the damage that’s done and can be undone if you choose to park and wait

You’ll be hiding your mistakes more than anyone.
You keep finding words misplaced almost every time.

The trouble is this, you’ve gotten too far now you’re staring at the gaps.
Trying to work it out, yes you’re trying to make amends but the answers have no space.

You’ll be hiding your mistakes more than anyone.
You keep finding words misplaced almost every time.
