grow old & die Lyrics

There were a lot of memories that I don't need

I took them out of my brain

I locked 'em away somewhere safe to keep

And I don't visit most days

I don't know no more what's right or wrong

I just try to make my heart belong

To a world that looks after me

As best I can

Nothin' you could say

Would change my mind

I don't want to spend my time

Waiting for the pleasure and the pain to go away

I remember there was something in my way

Maybe you were standing there in the doorway

I don't wanna waste my time

No more, I've given so much of mine

But I don't wanna see this through to the end

I want to disappear and never talk again

I don't really want to know

What I am hiding anymore from my myself

I just want to take control

Honey there is nowhere else I'd rather be

Than right back at the start

Picking up the pieces of your broken

And cleaning up for you

Making everything right until you feel okay

That's all I want to do

I don't give a fuck about me

I hope I die

I hope that you can see

This isn't right

This isn't working

And just between you and me

I think you've been someone to keep it going

Cos all I ever wanted to do was lie down next to you

And watch the ducks in the pond grow old and die
