A Good Hard Look

Tell me why I'm alone again

Why the thoughts in my brain aren't in line

The only time that I felt whole

Is when our when hands were intertwined

But I finally found out the hard

Way that this life we live is unkind

And why me and why her, well that I'll never know

But what I do is that we ran out of

Time

To find ourselves in time for something good

And I'll be alright, I'll be fine, I know that I should

And the stars in the sky when they finally fall

Line, maybe then you'll take a good hard look

And you'll realise, ours was your favourite book

Tell me why this shadows looming over me again

Now my days are darker than they've ever been

But I'm climbing up and I'm building strong

This tower that you'll never cut down

And I'm drinking myself hazy to keep from going crazy

Waiting for you to come round

To find yourself in time for something good

But you'll be alright, you'll be fine, I knew that you would

And the stars in the sky when they finally fall

In line maybe then you'll take a good hard look

And you'll realise, ours was your favourite book

Oh, your favourite book

The darkness in that cloud and the sharpness

In your tone is bringing me to my knees

The knives that you hurl are cutting me

To the bone

I'm begging you, oh I'm begging to breathe

And find myself in time for something good

And I'll be alright, I'll be fine, I know that I should

And the stars in the sky when they finally fall

Line maybe then you'll take a good hard look

And you'll realise, ours was your favourite book
