The Loneliness Waltz

(专辑： A Wolf In The Doorway - 2015)

Toothless and tired, my soul finds the door
To breath and to be nothing less, nothing more
Safe from disaster and spared by your love
Settle down now, I think that's enough
Settle down now, that's surely enough

Clung to its sleeve, this old heart's fit to choke
Lest you light up my drink or you fill up my smoke
All the parents and the poets can cry in their graves
From the lack of the love you gave
From the lack of the love we gave

We are frivolous with our hearts
Watch them bend till they break
Then we pick up the parts
Yeah, we give, we take
We save and condemn
And we live just to love again

Comfort reminds us of how it should feel
It wistfully chains us to fictive ideals
And it spurs us to keep all our love in a jar
Says I'm just keeping you from harm
Just trying to keep you from harm

We are frivolous with our hearts
Watch them bend till they break
Then we pick up the parts
Yeah, we give, we take
We save and condemn
And we live just to love again

Well, someday we'll see we've got nothing to lose
We'll be dancing on tables in our Sunday shoes
And you'll know that these words I would never betray
You're the rose and the thorn and you're safe
You're the rose and the thorn and you're safe
Yeah, you're the rose and the thorn and you're safe
