Not You

Look at all the daily lies
Running right before our eyes
They get to me

People come and people go
You wave goodbye, you say hello
But that’s it, you see?

Somedays it’s so hard to find
Someone that’s truly, truly kind
And it gets lonely

Somedays are too hard to bear
It seems like everyone in here
Ignores me

But not you
You held me so I wouldn’t fall
Not you
You were there through it all

Look at how unsatisfied
Blind and deaf and full of pride
Most people live

They hate what they can’t understand
And I don’t think they really can
Just change it

And I can clearly hear them talk
But can they really walk the walk
Oh the cowardness

But not you
You went for it, you stood tall
Not you
You outshined them all

Not you
Not you

You’re the summer
You’re the spring
You’re the light only real love can bring
You’re the circus
That I once dreamt
When I was a kid in the suburbs with elephants in my head
Then the world spins around me
It got scary, it got dark
It got filled up with people who broke my frail little heart
But not you
Not you

The day is done and still in time
For chocolate and a glass of wine
That’s all I need

Let’s go and find a place to hide
Forget about the world outside
And go to sleep
