Pull It Down

from Try This At Home by Chris Swinney

/

lyrics

Tell me what you want me to say
I’ll only say what you want to hear
We’ll get along much better this way
In a world where everything’s alright

You can say whatever you feel
Anything you want to reveal
I’ll hang on every word like it’s true
‘cause you know I’d never lie to you

I can take your honesty
Even if you think it cuts right through me
Everything you try to be
Is not the same as what’s showing

Watch me as I build it up
Then come and try to pull it down
See me when I’m flying high
And hope that I’ll crash to the ground

Tell me what you want me to say
Only what I know you can take
Everything is going okay
And you know I wouldn’t lie to you

I can take your honesty
Even if you think it cuts right through me
Everything you try to be
Is not the same as what’s showing

Watch me as I build it up
Then come and try to pull it down
See me when I’m flying high
And hope that I’ll crash to the ground

When I try to see the light
You cast a shadow over me
And every time I get it right
You’ll be the last one to see
