Frannie B - Cruel Lyrics

You know I often wonder if you're watching me
I know you wouldn't be proud of my choices
You always had such faith and saw a light I could never see
Now in my head you conflict with all these voices saying

You've got to pick yourself up
Life's too short- don't be a fool
No one else is gonna fix up these broken pieces
It's down to you
You've got to keep your chin up
Don't let darkness overrule
People will be bitter
But don't let them make you cruel

Tell me, what's it like up there? Are you finally dancing free?
Has he filled the empty chair I used to love when I came 'round?
I have questions about things I can't foresee
I'm down here on earth but I feel buried in the ground

I've got to pick myself up
Life's too short to slip from reality
No one else is gonna fix up these broken pieces
It's down to me
I've got to keep my chin up
Don't let darkness overrule
People will be bitter
And I don't want to become cruel

With the seashell floor and the smell of floral soap
And the sweet pea in the rain
Grass that rolls out from the terrace to the wood
Trees hide stories in their grain
I must confess I have these secrets
They've been weighing down on me so bad
I'm kind of glad that you are not around to see this
This is honesty that I have never had

You've got to pick yourself up
Life's too short- don't be a fool
No one else is gonna fix up these broken pieces
It's down to you
You've got to keep your chin up
Don't let darkness overrule
People will be bitter
But don't let them make you cruel
