Andrew Wade - Decency lyrics

[Intro] Drop your act You know exactly what you did but you can't admit it And suddenly I'm the one who's been wrong all along [Verse 1] Suddenly it's so easy To settle, sigh, and leave these Believe me it's much harder than it looks Suddenly, suddenly I'm in over my head, underneath my skin Crawling with this guilt and gilded debt It's not as easy as regret And I can't recall the last time I spent A night alone, relieved and content To redirect this course of events Would only end in bitter, sullen, sorrow [Chorus] Show me how lovely you can be I'll look past all your scales and teeth Into your heart of stone And carve out veins that aren't so cold [Verse 2] I felt your venom spreading lies Exactly what I want to hear And who'd've thought that I'd be stolen from When you lent me your ear So don't let your polluted spirit Draw sorrow from everyone you meet If my steps shook the whole foundation I'd be sore with splinters in my feet [Chorus] Show me how lovely you can be I'll look past all your scales and teeth Into your heart of stone And carve out veins that aren't so cold [Bridge] This load that they gave me, too heavy to carry They think that it's easy, but they don't even know me Could I choose worse words to find a way out (Would you care to know me now) Somebody save me, naive and unwary I buckle from pressure and I beg them to spare me Could I choose worse words to find a way out (Would you please just spare me now) (It's not the first, it won't be the last time) This load that they gave me, too heavy to carry They think that it's easy but they don't even know me (And I tell myself that this is the last time) Somebody save me, naive and unwary I buckle from pressure and I beg them to spare me (And they tell me that this is the last time) (Could I choose worse words to find a way out) [Chorus] Show me how lovely you can be I'll look past all your scales and teeth Into your heart of stone And carve out veins that aren't so cold Show me the face no others see Your mask hides envy underneath Weighed down by your hardened heart You set the bar that then set us apart [Outro] You're two faced with blinders Who's the fake and the liar? This is your last, this is your last chance Prove to me there's more to you than your substance So I'll pa** on the faults of the restless Void of the pride you decide that you're left with
