I've got an elasticated heart
But you'll pull and you'll pull till you snap it
And it stretches round your many misdemeanours
To our common ground
Your arrogance disguises
My self-conscious remises
As I can't
Get a word in either side
I'm coughing up blood
From self-inflicted drudge
'Cause I can't give you up
And you always take me for a fool
And I can't challenge everything I hear
So I'll take what you say with a pinch
Just quietly waiting for the tide to come in
I knew the stakes were high
But there were things I was willing to risk
And I'll come out of this bleeding and feeling deceived
Because a thought that I had
Cast me away so easily
I'll always hold a flag for you
But it can't stay white forever
I'll always hold a flag for you
But it can't stay white forever
And you always take me for a fool
And I can't challenge everything I hear
So I'll take what you say with a pinch
Just quietly waiting for the tide to come in
And you always take me for a fool
And I can't challenge everything I hear
So I'll take what you say with a pinch
Just quietly waiting for the tide to come in
