Lifted Lyrics

If you could write it out

With all the letters left on the table

What would you write about

And could you write it if you were able

If I could write a song

With all the precious little notes that I left you

I'd get the lyrics wrong

Just like the forwarding address I sent to

Your little secret world

That never stamped my passport

So please don't draw this out

When I gave you all you asked for

You lift me up, you let me down gently

You lift me up, you let me down hard

You lift me up, you let me down gently

Whatever it takes to tear us apart

So here we go again

In a never-ending sequence

Of where and what and when

It's like I'm constantly on the defense

Oh, but no offense, you say

No need to be so defensive

I'm tired of building all these walls

I'm losing all my senses

Okay, I see it now

Our world is upside down

The crater's coming to cradle us apart

You lift me up, you let me down gently

You lift me up, you let me down hard

You lift me up, you let me down gently

Whatever it takes to tear us apart

You lift me up, you let me down gently

You lift me up, you let me down hard

You lift me up, you let me down gently

Whatever it takes to tear us apart

You lift me up, you let me down gently

Lift me up, you let me down hard

You lift me up, you let me down gently

Whatever it takes to tear us apart

You lift me up, you let me down gently

You lift me up, you let me down hard

You lift me up, you let me down gently

Whatever it takes to tear us apart

You lift me up, you let me down gently

You lift me up, you let me down hard (Don't tear us apart)

You lift me up, you let me down gently

Whatever it takes to tear us apart
