Pre Chorus

But I can’t fix you

From the outside

Looking In

And there is

Always trouble

Waiting in the wings

 

Chorus

Larger than life itself

Gave us

The gift

On the bridge

So not everything is broken

 

And now I am trying to help

His girl

Wipe away

The tears

Has some words to be spoken

 

Said he was

Too good for this world

Anyways

 

Verse 1

If you are

Full of the optimism

That comes from

Ignorance

 

You can’t fault the terrorist

For terrorism

Cos that’s what they do

If they get the chance

 

As the adults

Put themselves in prison

With some kind of wisdom

Claiming substance

 

That lacks the basics

Of humanity

In a very difficult

Set of circumstances

 

Verse 2

We all have faults

Show me someone

Who isn’t

Afraid of the dark

 

When nobody answers

The call from the front door

Painted in two shades

Of freakin’ crimson

 

Where the curtains

Are closed

The lights are down low

And floorboards have drifted apart

 

And if you are dying of cancer

Who do you care for?

Can you be the broken voice

Of reason

 

Verse 3

She wears a mask

To cover her beauty

Or the uglier side

Of her life

 

Are the scars and the bruises

Reserved for the battles

That go on

Inside his mind

 

And I hate to ask

But it is my duty

Is it any different

Than a little girl in Fife

 

Trying to dodge

The punches and excuses

From the bottom of the bottle

Empty way before the barman called time
