Do you think she heard the tremble,
quiver coming from my voice?
No, I didn’t mean to show it,
I told a lie to ease her.
Now I can’t help but question why I’m here...
and the way that she looked at me,
I’ve never seen her look like that before it all changed.
I’m finding it harder that I thought I would,
I can’t wait to see you.
Do you think that they can see it,
my eyes puffed up like a child?
Oh I tried my best to hide it,
but the thought of you tears me up inside...
And now I can’t help but question why I’m here.
I’m not eating like I used to.
I’m not feeling like I should.
I never said it how I meant to,
I’m just glad you understood.
You always find me when I’m stumbling in the dark,
I couldn’t say where I’d be without you,
Do you know how important to me you are?
and the way that she looked at me,
I’ve never seen her look like that before it all changed.
I’m finding it harder that I thought I would,
Oh I can’t wait to see you.

If it’s all the rage to feel better, then why can’t I seem to help myself? And if I’m moving out the picture then why do I stay in front of the camera’s lens
without any movement
any movement
any movement
I’m Statue Still
without any movement
any movement
any movement
I’m Statue Still
You hit the ground running
hold on a second
could you try to stay before you leave
out of the woodworks come all my friends
but I’m too caught up in what I want to hear what i need
They try to move me along
try to move along
try to move me along
I’m statue still
They try to move me along
try to move along
try to move me along
I’m statue still
Now I’ll focus on getting through today
then tomorrow I think I’ll have to do the same
Now I’ll just focus on getting through today
then tomorrow I think I’ll have to do the same
then tomorrow I know I’ll have to do the same
If it’s all the rage to feel better, then why can’t I seem to help myself? And if I’m moving out the picture then why do I stay in front of the camera’s lens
without any movement
any movement
any movement
I’m Statue Still
In case you come back, a change of heart
in case you come back, to start a new start
In case you come back, a change of heart
in case you come back…
I’m statue still.

Sat listening to Jolene
Both crying in our underwear
I know it’s unconventional
But we weren’t quite ready to talk about
What we knew once we spoke about
I’d be up and out your door
You and I would be no more
By myself watching TV
Wondering what you’re doing and where you are
I guess it’s just protocol
Ooo every now and then
I think I’m doing better without you
Until I fall I fall I fall
Down again
Ooo and it’s hard to pretend
I’ve amended to a life without you around
When I
fall I fall I fall
So often
I found one of your old t shirts
Just lying around my house
These days I’m so easy to set off
Today is your birthday
I thought about you an awful lot
Though this year I didn’t send a card
That’s cos we don’t talk
You and I don’t talk anymore
We aren’t seen
You and I aren’t seen together anymore
And you don’t love me
How could you love me like before?
When we don’t talk
We don’t even talk
Ooo every now and then
I think I’m doing better without you
Until I fall I fall I fall
Down again
Ooo and it’s hard to pretend
I’ve amended to a life without you around
When I fall I fall I fall
So often
Yeah I fall I fall I fall so often...
I fall I fall I fall down again
Yeah I fall I fall I fall so often
Sat listening to Jolene
Both crying in our underwear
Oh love how’d we end up here?
