lyrics

if you tried half as hard to let me in as you did
shutting me out, you wouldn’t be so tired now
if i could pull you up by the roots from the carnage of the
rotting earth, you’d hide your face back in the dirt

don’t feel safe in my embrace, wanna hide your face in my palms
i’ll entertain till safer places come along

its too late to cry tonight i’m your fool for hire
don’t need your hands to keep me at your side
i see your mouth, turning up at all its corners
see there’s no need to hide

if i could wake the one inside your body who can
see the light i think you’d make it through the night
if you would look me in the eyes for just one
don’t run, i’d love to let you see the sun

its too late to cry tonight i’m your fool for hire
don’t need your hands to keep me at your side
i see your mouth, turning up at all its corners
no need to run and hide

you love yourself just enough
to hide your face behind the brush
all of your threads have caught up
on picket fences chains and rust
and you love yourself just enough
to hide from them behind the brush
all your friends have got choked up, in the dust

its too late to cry tonight i’m your fool for hire
don’t need your hands to keep me at your side
i see your mouth, turning up at all its corners
see there’s no need to hide
