Lyrics Brandi Carlile

Brandi Carlile

Tragedy

Sorry I'm only

Human you know me

Grown up oh no guess again

My days always

Dry up and blow away

Sometimes I could do that too

But make no mistake that

When you need a friend

You could count on anyone

But you know I'll defend

The tragedy that we knew as

The end

Progress, changing

Growing then giving up

Somehow we're never quite prepared

But I understand it

When you need a friend

You could count on anyone

But you know I'll defend

The tragedy that we knew as

The end

So taking you with me would be like

Taking all your money to the grave

It does no good to anyone especially

The one you're trying to save

But it's so hard not to save

When you need a friend

You could count on anyone

But you know I'll defend

The tragedy that we knew as

The end
