Lyrics

If an apology from you meant anything I'd accept it now with grace But you and I both know it's just a ploy for you to save some face If you had any self respect you'd turn yourself in for your crime But every time you tell yourself it's alright Every time you go to sleep at night Every time you tell yourself it's alright It just becomes a bigger lie I hope that you can stand yourself tonight In between days full of hypertension Basking in the memories you hold so dear Remember the vibrant defining moments The king making manoeuvres and the grand ideas I'm glad to see the world through a different window But glory doesn't colour every move I make No lies, no fiction, no rose-pink lens Just a truthful look at the love I gave to you But every time you tell yourself it's alright Every time you go to sleep at night Every time you tell yourself it's alright It just becomes a bigger lie I hope that you can stand yourself tonight I hope that you can stand yourself tonight I hope that you can stand yourself tonight Hallelujah I found love Hallelujah I found love Every praying saints pray for natures sinners Preserving every pillar that was so hard upon Fold into the chest of a mother's clutch Relish in the lure of a distant sun Now I'm glad to see the world through the winter ballad The colour wheels stall between the green and blue No white, no snow melt, no ice bound lakes Just a bird song strung across the cobalt blue But every time you tell yourself it's alright Every time you kiss your kids goodnight Every time you tell yourself it's alright It just becomes a bigger lie I hope that you can stand yourself tonight I hope that you can stand yourself tonight I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
