Trembling Blue Stars

Under Lock And Key

Album: Alive To Every Smile [2001]

You've got to stop fucking her up

You've got to grow up

You've got to stop making her cry

She thinks you want to and you know she's right

You're showing a side that you don't like

 

You've got to trust what she feels is there

And not need to see it

You've got to let her do what she wants with this secret

You've got to say sorry, then not undo it

You've got to let go

If not in your heart

Then in what you show

And in what you start

 

If you love her like you say

You won't do again what you did today

She wouldn't even let you brush a tear away

You won't push and push until she breaks

It cannot be, and you've got to accept it

Stop being so weak

Stop being so selfish

 

You can want all you like

Still you won't be getting

When she said you were cruel, boy, she wasn't kidding

No matter how fierce the flames may be

You've got to keep your feelings under lock and key

The last thing you want is to feel her withdraw

Do yourself a favour: start thinking of her
