Raid Your Own House

I said ‘Your love may be dead

But it’s still all in head’

She said ‘I’m not to blame

See how it ruined my life

And now you’ve come to advise

It’s me who’s got to change

I know it’s hard, but you should

Gather your dreams and conclude

I’ll always feel this way’

‘Quitting the scene

You’re off the beam

If you know what I mean

Got your head in the clouds

You know you raid your own house!’

She said ‘My eyes fail to see

You may be following me

But is it all worthwile

To catch my world in a song

Somehow I feel that it’s wrong

To have my life on file’

‘You’re getting lost at the fringe

Fighting a war you can’t win’

I said ‘It’s not my style

Head in the sand

Please understand

That you’ll lose in the end

It’s the easy way out

You only raid your own house!

Though you say you would

There’s no reason to

Give it up

If it takes you down

Makes you lose your ground

Make it stop

But don’t tell me you’d refuse a helping hand

Win or lose again

Take or leave the chance to live!’
