Powderfinger Stand Yourself
If an apology from you meant anything
I'd accept it now with grace
But you and i both know its just
a ploy for you to save some face
If you'd any self-respect you'd turn
yourself in for your crime
Everytime you tell yourself its alright
Everytime you go to sleep at night
Everytime you tell yourself its alright
It just becomes a bigger lie
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
In between days full of ´have pretension´
Basking in the memories you hold so dear
Remembering the vibe with the final moments
The king making manoeuvres and the grand ideas
Im glad to see the world to a different window
The glory doesn't color every move I make
No lies, no fiction, no rose-pink blends
Just a truthful look at the love I gave to you
Everytime you tell yourself its alright
Everytime you go to sleep at night
Everytime you tell yourself its alright
It just becomes a bigger lie
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight....
Hallelujah I found love..
Every green saints pray for natures sinners
Reserving every pedal that was so hard worn
Fold it to a chest in a mothers clutch
Relishing the lure of a distant sun
Now Im glad to see the world through the winter palette
The color-wheel stall between the green and blue
No white, no snowmelt, no icebound lakes
Just bird song strung across the cobalt blue hole
Everytime you tell yourself its alright
Everytime you kiss your kids good night
Everytime you tell yourself its alright
It just becomes a bigger lie
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight..
