How was he to see himself
Shaping better things like he read
Filling every frailty with painted air instead
Everyone reminds him of those tall tall tales
Summarised by chasing down fame
He'd channelled to a false dawn and there he could not change
Oh
She's filling up the pages
Cos she hasn't been the same since
He was hiding from the truth
So she couldn't sit and take it
Once enough to tolerate
It's on the walls upon the two
So why does he backdown do as I do
He's not being funny
That is just the way he is
Convinced that he'll repair it
With his all his well worn tricks
He draws back to bite his lip
Hopes that's where his courage is
As he set out to harness
The pain to fight his fears
Oh
She's filling up the pages
Cos she hasn't been the same since
He was hiding from the truth
So she couldn't sit and take it
Once enough to tolerate
It's on the walls upon the two
So why does he backdown do as I do
Oh
She's filling up the pages
Cos she hasn't been the same since
He was hiding from the truth
And so she couldn't sit and take it
Once enough to tolerate
It's on the walls upon the two
Oh
She's filling up the pages
Cos she hasn't been the same since
He was hiding from the truth
So she couldn't sit and take it
Once enough to tolerate
It's on the walls upon the two
And why does he backdown
Why does he backdown
Why does he backdown do as I do
