Strum
D-DU-UDU
step out to clutch the evening air
straction from your disrepair and all of those who say they know
walk the balustrade till dawn you wont blink and you wont yawn
never let your weakness show
though i keep your picture on the wall unplug the phone in case you call
and dust collects upon the sill
still you misplace all your faith in words as though youll ever feel assured
if you dont know you never will
but no i never meant you any harm
suffocating shelter of your arms
if i let you down it wasnt me but you who kept me round
linger on linger on
and while your tears fall dawn his cheek for the fallen, small and meek
look what the invalides compose
well he should've warned you from the start another callus on the heart
another victim of the throes
so sip your cigarettes and tea be sure you never think of me when your vanities unload
and in case your beauty makes you weep for what you touched but couldnt keep
for what you had but couldnt hold
but no i never meant you any harm
suffocating shelter of your arms
if you should feel betrayed it wasnt me but you who made me stay
linger on linger on
well ill take your convalescent dreams patch the wounds and sew the seams
get you ready for the fall
but should you miss me when im gone girl your memory serves you wrong
you never needed me at all
but you can miss the hollow of my hand and all the lives that we had planned
all the jealousies you sold
and ill take back the youth you cant repay all the hours i gave away
and all the lies i never told
but no i never meant you any harm
suffocating shelter of your arms
and if i did you wrong it wasnt me but you who wrote this song
linger on linger on
