Just Because It’s Dying

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You don't stop loving something just because it's dying, do you? You keep on hoping it will live As when you first discovered that your lover's lying to you And look for reasons to forgive When you see the fireworks fizzle Hit the lake, and start to sizzle Don't you wish for one last missile to illuminate the sky? So do I [Bridge] Some people lead a crippled dream out back to shoot it At the very first suspicion that it's lame Others let theirs limp along, although their legs aren't very strong While there's a single, shaky step left in their frame You don't stop loving something simply out of shame [Verse 2] Although the laws of motion don't just stop applying to you And every body comes to rest You don't stop loving something just because it's dying, do you? You press the clappers to its chest Turn the knobs and flick the switches Swear you'd give up untold riches For a fusillade of twitches to uncannily occur Now watch it stir
