Lyrics
I see you cringe when the phone rings
Make a list of all the nasty things
You wish you could wish out your way
You gotta mad bone for your lost love
Gotta a cold spot for your tight glove
Gotta a hope so bad you swear you heard
Her promise to stay
But no one said you'd get that
No one signed a contract
You can keep on the track
That keeps spinning your wheels
You get to be here but you have to leave
You get a body tucked in a long sleeve
As cozy as you allow it to let you believe
You gotta let your heart break
Not for nothin but it's own sake
Let the vultures come take it
Heat the oven bake a burnt cake
It's never been safe out here
Have no fear, no fear, my dear
I see you turn I see you tumble
As your stomach rocks and rumbles
Making room for all the choices
You still could have made
But a could is not a should not
Would have slipped right through that slip knot
Had the voices from that sweet spot in your head
Still refrained
Choosing choices that were chosen
By senseless little notions
Wrapped in proverbs unspoken through lips that are sealed
You get to have me but I have to go
I'll tell you but you'll never know
'bout the daydreams flowing to and fro
Through a half hearted smile
It's never been safe out here
Have no fear, no fear, my dear
Got a hard knock in a soft hell
Found a gentle lie in a wishing well
I'm afraid of this something who's shape I can't tell
Is it the dull ache in the long bye's?
Or the quick stab from your sad eyes
Or the sharp edge of the blunt truth
Or the sour smell from your sweet tooth
I'd never wanna hurt you
But there are no walls left to cling to
As I see you as you see me
As something I'm not
It's the changelings on the path away
Like a butterfly on a windy day
I'll let go of the reasons that I could have stayed
It's never been safe out here
Have no fear, no fear, my dear
