Pity

It took a lot of courage Look how far you're come You can always go home You cannot call it failure Least of all regret Is this the sum and substance What defines Tell me something true (x 3) Never really had "it" Never had the goods Wasn't quite the shape to fit A favourite of fortune What a lucky girl It's what we all believed in There's no shame Tell me something true (x 6) The day turns angry And I'm pushed and pulled I'm turned up and over Like a bag on the wind It's my storm in a teacup Honestly I'm drowing But who wants to know Compare it to suffocation, stagnation It's not a bad way It's not a bad way to go Sift through and discard Try to make sense of it All this talk Confuse and distort Try to make sense of it All this talk I can see your lips move I can hear the sound I believe you believe what you say Static in the signal Hammer in my head I'm helpless to receive Close it down Tell me something true (x 6)
