Humility

Humility

Chorus:

Don't cry

It's alright

I'll be there with you

Even if the sky's gone black

And though you can't see me

Just know that I hold your hand

So please don't cry

For me.

Verse I:

I know I never stayed at home

I know I was a whore

The things I thought were real to me

Are now the things I hate.

I was the one who needed help, I know,

As I pour myself a beer;

Drowning in myself I only pushed you away.

But the further I pushed, the harder you tried.

(And now I say)

(chorus repeat)

Verse II:
It seems that now the clocks are off,

Time seems to have stopped;

This I fear to be my fault:

I always slowed you down.

But even after you had gone

And I had found myself

I can't get time to move again

I'm in perpetual monotony

(And now I sing)

(chorus repeat)

(instrumental break)

Bridge:
It's getting late, I told you then, pulling on my coat;

A self induced, sick euphoria clouding up my brain.

A sardonic smile and a slurred goodbye was all it took

For you to start to cry for me.

(And now I cry)

(chorus repeat)
