It's Never the Words You Say - Apologies I Have None

Sometimes you just want to know

You’re not alone

She said

«it takes everything I am

To fight every thought I have

And I can’t seem to find the strength

I need to live like this

Do you know what it’s like

To have to walk that line?»

I said, «I know what it’s like

Yeah I know what it’s like

Because I walk that line myself at times

I have those thoughts myself most nights

It’s never easy

When you live on a battle line.»

Sometimes you just want to know

You’re not alone

Sometimes you just want to know

You’re not alone

She said

«I hate being the way I am

I hate being the type of person that I can’t stand

Could you ever understand?»

And I said

«it's alright

Yeah it’s alright

I know exactly what that’s like»

That’s all she needed to hear

All she needed to hear

Sometimes you just want to know

You’re not alone

Sometimes you just want to know

You’re not alone

A few years on

I thought this would be long gone

Hear where it’s coming from

London

Now I know

Not much ever changes

If you don’t let old habits go

It’s never the words you say

But the way you say them

It’s never the same if you try and fake them

Going back over old ground

Is like a hammer to your mental health

But we’re still dragging concrete feet

So I can’t focus

I can’t focus

On anything else
