lyrics

"Halfhearted Songs"

Keeping warm ain't easy,
So I'm staying in my bed,
You know I ain't that greedy,
You got it backwards in your head

I'll think I'll take my chances,
Somewhere in the alleyway,
I'm swinging for the fences,
I don't need it anyway

I don't know what I've been sold,
Just a fleeting whisper
I could never hold,
You can keep all of my halfhearted songs ,
To mop up all your bitter tears

When I thought I saw you,
Walking out around the back,
Into the cracks you fell through,
Then you faded into black

Want you to think about it,
Want you to keep yourself away,
Then again I can't be bothered,
I've got so much more to say

I don't know what I've been sold,
Just a fleeting whisper
I could never hold,
You can keep all of my
halfhearted songs ,
To mop up all your bitter tears

I know it's quite a simple song,
Doesn't take too much to say so long,
You could always draw a crowd,
But never said it all out loud

I don't know what I've been sold,
Just a fleeting whisper
I could never hold,
You can keep all of my halfhearted songs ,
To mop up all your bitter tears
