Strays Don't Sleep Love Don't Owe You Anything
I lost myself for a second there
I don't know how
I don't know where
I turned the key
climbed the stairs
to the smile that said hello, I will
(You know I will).
It comes to this
we're skin and bones
so let's pretend we're not alone
I'll do my best
to be your home
now I trust you'll do the same for me
it's just not that easy.
'Cause love don't owe you anything
it's foolish if you ever thought it did
I'll prove my faith
I'll wear your ring.
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
it's love and death
we fear the most
so pour a drink
we'll raise a toast
to those who know the twins of freedom
the twins of freedom.
You know it's hard to live like lovers do
the worst in me
the worst in you
the world outside can shatter too
but that can't change the reasons
why we first we came here
we came here.
'Cause love don't owe you anything
it's foolish if you ever thought it did
I'll prove my faith
I'll wear your ring.
I thought I understood
now I understand.
'Cause there's glitter on the hills tonight
sparkling blue and throwing light
the traffic crawls behind my eyes
to that place of hope and innocence
innocence.
