[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong
And I wanted to die
That’s when …
[Verse 1]
Got some money, got some cash
I’m rich and now I’m sad
And I wonder if I’m sad about the money that I have
Got some boats on my plane
At the hotel …
[Intro]
Yeah
Polishin’ a goddamn sword, you know what I’m sayin’?
Polishin’ a sword (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
Concrete Family, Concrete Industries, Concrete Boys up, always, never down
(And this beat from Cash, not from …
When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On …
My hands, your hands
Tied up like two ships1
Drifting, weightless
Waves try to break it
I’d do anything to save it
Why is it so hard to say it?2
My heart, your heart
Sit tight like book ends3
Pages between us
Written with no end4
So many words we’re not saying
Don’t wanna wait ’til it’s gone5
You make me strong
I’m sorry if I say, “I need you”
But I don’t care,
I’m not scared of love6
‘Cause when I’m not with you I’m weaker
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong
That you make me strong?7
Think of how much
Love that’s been wasted8
People always
Trying to escape it
Move on to stop their heart breaking9
But there’s nothing I’m running from
You make me strong10
I’m sorry if I say, “I need you”
But I don’t care,
I’m not scared of love
‘Cause when I’m not with you I’m weaker
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong?
So, baby, hold on to my heart, oh, oh
Need you to keep me from falling apart
I’ll always hold on11
‘Cause you make me strong
I’m sorry if I say, “I need you”
But I don’t care
I’m not scared of love
‘Cause when I’m not with you I’m weaker
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong?
I’m sorry if I say, “I need you”
But I don’t care,
I’m not scared of love
‘Cause when I’m not with you I’m weaker
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong
That you make me strong?
I’m sorry if I say, “I need you”
But I don’t care,
I’m not scared of love
‘Cause when I’m not with you I’m weaker
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong
That you make me strong
