Don't get upset or curse yourself

If you replace me

I know  the way of this world and how it works

There is order to these things.

Flushed cheeks and heavy feet

You're on your way back  to the family home

Evening tea and the shouting from next door

You feel a sinking in your stomach<...

Every glorious day

Every damp and miserable evening 

You still close the same torn curtains

And you're still alone.

The bruised and battered sky

seems to reflect the pain you try so hard to conceal

I'm so pleased to see

you've got the spring back in your step

Will you read to me?

Something that is precious

something that is worth holding on to life for

will you let me into your heart?

Loneliness won't kill you

much as you may want it to

and everyday you spend alone

is another day of you pining for someone to show.

Anything that you have to give me

I will welcome with an honest and grateful heart

I just need a little help from someone who can be kind.

Who should I talk to?

About my friend who never comes out

he locks himself away with all of his anger

and those walls he stares at are now turning gray.

Put a chair by the window and turn the heating on

there is a whole brave world inside

and you don't need to be dangerous to risk it all

just pick up the phone...

Everyone you meet serves you a smile

you have never known a victim of crime

and the day always ends just like

your mother said all good stories should end
