CROCODILE TEARS Lyrics

I cover my eyes on the way down

There's nothing to see but the ground

I thought I was made up of something else

I'm out of reprieve, can I leave now?

Holding the hand that's holding me under

(You'll never get what you'll never deserve)

Hanging in the balance, here

I could've been a better man, but I'm not

Every time I try, I fear it's insincere

Crocodile tears

Had to swing my hope down low

Cause even if it glitters, ain't gold

I know, fools don't

So it goes up in smoke when I reach for it

I smothered my selfish circadian

Pattern of taking a little bit

Too much, too often

I made my chest a coffin and

I tore out a handful from all of it

Taking my head all apart again

Look too close and miss it

Old wounds, shapes that shifted

Hanging in the balance, here

I could've been a better man, but I'm not

Every time I try, I fear it's insincere

Crocodile tears

Had to swing my hope down low

Cause even if it glitters, ain't gold

I know, fools don't

So it goes up in smoke when I reach for it

Every thief in the night

Every stone in your shoe

All of the ache that you find

It traces back to an ocean in you

Every thief in the night

Every stone in your shoe

All of the ache that you find

It traces back to an ocean in you

Every thief in the night

Every stone in your shoe

All of the ache that you find

It traces back to an ocean in you

Hanging in the balance, here

I could've been a better man, but I'm not

Every time I try, I fear it's insincere

Crocodile tears

Had to swing my hope down low

Cause even if it glitters, ain't gold

I know, fools don't

So it goes up in smoke when I reach for it

(Smoke when I reach for it)
