Billie - Run That By Me Lyrics

you smile to sweeten what you're saying 
but you wound with your words so fine 
we all get the lives that we deserve 
what 
you're cruel to my kind 
do you think that I've got no feelings 
left to hurt inside 
your aim is high and you don't miss much 
but my eyes are open wide 
if I'm gonna have to push the boat out 
to meet that tidal wave 
I'm gonna need more than a moment 
to find a face that's brave 
and if I'm looking in the desert 
to find the blazing flowers 
I'm gonna need more than a minute 
more like twenty four hours 
run that by me one more time 
I gotta have a chance to recover 
run that by me one more time 
I gotta have a chance 
run that by me one more time 
before you blow my mind and my cover 
run that by me one more time 
cos I'm strong enough 
so you saw this coming did you 
you give pride while I take the fall 
you never thought to warn me did you 
just sit back and watch it all you straightjacket my dreams 
and chainsaw my intentions 
I hate to shatter your illusions 
but I'm strong enough to carry on 
if I'm gonna have to push the boat out 
to meet that tidal wave 
I'm gonna need more than a moment 
to find a face that's brave 
and if I'm looking in the desert 
to find the blazing flowers 
I'm gonna need more than a minute 
more like twenty four hours 
run that by me one more time 
I gotta have a chance to recover 
run that by me one more time 
I gotta have a chance 
run that by me one more time 
before you blow my mind and my cover 
run that by me one more time 
cos I'm strong enough 
I get crushed while you never mind 
I get crushed while you never mind 
and this is all the well I have 
excuse me whilst I dig it up dig it up 
I get crushed while you never mind 
I get crushed while you never mind 
and this is all the strength I have 
excuse me whilst I dig it up dig it up 
run that by me one more time 
I gotta have a chance to recover run that by me one more time 
I gotta have a chance 
run that by me one more time 
before you blow my mind and my cover 
run that by me one more time 
cos I'm strong enough 
run that by me one more time 
you don't feel love 
run that by me one more time 
you don't feel why 
repeat
