Stand Yourself

If that apology from you meant anything

I'd accept it now with grace

Well you and I both know its just a ployfor you to save some face

If you had any self respect you'd turn yourself in for your crime

Everytime you tell yourself its alright

Everytime you go to sleep at night

Everytime you tell yourself its alright

It just becomes a bigger lie

I hope that you can stand yourself tonight

In between days full of hypertension

Basking in the memories you hold so dear

Remember the vibrant, defining moments

The king making manoeuvres and the grand ideas

I'm glad to see the world through a different window

Where glory doesn't colour every move I make

No lies, no fiction, no rose pink lens

Just a truthful look at the love I gave to you

Everytime you tell yourself its alright

Everytime you go to sleep at night

Everytime you tell yourself its alright

It just becomes a bigger lie

I hope that you can stand yourself tonight

I hope that you can stand yourself tonight

I hope that you can stand yourself tonight

Evergreen saints pray for natures sinners

Preserving every petal that was so hard won

Fold into her chest in a mother's crutch

Relish in the lure of a distant sun

Now I'm glad to see the world through the winter palette

Where colour wheels stall between the green and blue

No white, no snow melt, no ice bound lakes

Just bird song strung across the cobalt blue, boy

Everytime you tell yourself its alright

Everytime you kiss your kids goodnight

Everytime you tell yourself its alright

It just becomes a bigger lie

I hope that you can stand yourself tonight

I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
