It gets a grip of me, when I least expect
It can knock me to my knees
And make every day feel the same
It's had me crooked on the stairs
Wearing a gaze that could become a curse
Been cornered by its eyes, just lying there with a vacant stare
And for all the shame I've had enough
Because the shame's enough for me, enough for me
As the colours fade to grey
I hope it doesn't get the better of me
The better of me
If all I know is how to carry on
I forgive the thought that always gets me down
Well over time I think I've let it in
Or was it always in my mind?
Not a lot can break or shake it
Put up an honest fight, it will loosen its grip
Well it took my mothers brother, too soon.
So do I take a leap and stick with it?
As the colours fade to grey
I hope it doesn't get the better of me
The better of me
If all I know is how to carry on
I forgive the thought that always gets me down
Well over time I think I've let it in
Because it's always in my mind
(Numbing out the feeling)
For now it's better off inside
(How do I forget it?)
It's something I will talk about in time
(It's a thought embedded, over time I've let in)
And over time I think I've let it in
(Live with it)
Because it's always in my mind
