Thryn - He Tells Me
00
Copied!
{VERSE 1}
So there’s two of us in a room
The sun’s going down again
And he’s got this look like someone’s kicked his dog again
“Why’d you look so sad?
And don’t you think the light through the venetian blinds makes it look like we’re in prison?”
He’s always been convinced the house is haunted
He thinks that the Virgin Mary watches while we’re asleep
And perhaps he’s right to be pious
{Chorus}
He tells me, he tells me, he tells me there’s no other
Hе tells me, he tеlls me , he tells me there’s no other
He promises, he swears that there isn’t any other in his heart
He shouldn’t have bothered
It don’t weigh on my mind
I’m neutral to the concept
I told him to forget it
I just want to be here while it’s still light
{VERSE 2}
So there’s three of us in a room
You and me and catholic guilt
Its a crowd especially in this small and gilded cage youve built yourself
Why’d you look so sad?
And do you think that if we lock the doors at night it might stop you from escaping?
I’ve always been convinced the house is haunted
I think that his late grandmother watches while we’re asleep
And she whispers
“Be a good man, be a good man, be a good man, be a good man, be your father, be a good man”
{Chorus}
He tells me, he tells me, he tells me he’s a good man
He tells me, he tells me, he tells me he’s a good man
He promises, he swears that he’s going to be a good man ‘til he dies
He shouldn’t have bothered
I don’t know what that means
I’m neutral to the concept
I told him to forget it
I just want to be here while it’s still light
{BRIDGE}
You don’t have to be what your father wants
I’m not judging, I’m not judging you
Pious boy, don’t lie to me, you’re no innocent
But I’m not judging How could I judge you?
Life’s a river wild
Always eddying
Nothing’s justified
You should learn to ride
Life’s a river wild
Turning at a whim
Nothing’s justified
You should learn to swim
Always on your knees my love
Always on your knees my love
And you never seem to learn, everyone that loves will burn
Always on your knees for love
Always on your knees for love
Think that you’ll be sentenced soon
But I’m not judging you
{OUTRO}
I'm not judging
I'm not judging you
