Intervention Lyrics

Hey little stranger

Won't you show me the way home

I've been awake for much longer

Than I care to remember

And this monkey on my back

Just won't leave me alone

If you send me your details

I'll be sure to pay you back

For all the trouble that I cause you

And the manners I lack

Cos at the junction where I function

I tend to fall to the side

And things creep from the woodwork

Leaving no place to hide

But it feels so noble they say

Being three weeks sober to the day

And at the end of this crushing mistake

Only lies heartbreak

Only lies heartbreak

Hey little brother

If you see me wandering out of here

One way or another

The devil in me might reappear

As over in my mind

I replace the things I left behind

And the pretence makes no sense

But is more acceptable I find

And it feels so noble they say

Being three years sober to the day

And at the end of this crushing mistake

Only lies heartbreak

Only lies heartbreak

I wouldn't take me at face value

My faces only let you down

But I'll try to make my presence tolerable

Just as long as I'm in town

Hey little sister

I think I've found my way home

Although it took me a little longer

I think I'm feeling much stronger

And I can't quite believe

That I made it on my own

You never gave me your details

And you never looked back

Guess all the trouble wasn't worth it

Nor the time that you lacked

Still at the junction where I function

I try to push things aside

And I ignore all the woodwork

And the places to hide

But it feels so noble in a way

Being sober until today

But at the end of this crushing mistake

Only lies heartbreak

It's all I can take
