The People Versus - Pretty Words

You run from the highest tide
Forget that she comes here everyday
You can't pin foundations down
And ask the earth around you not to change

Said you felt incomplete like a lover
Like a half was taken away
Tear out a half of somebody else
And hope that they then feel the same

She will not know your children
She will not learn your name
Many wasted nights have I tried
To love her all the same

Where'd you run to?
Forget that we see you from the blue?
Such pretty words
Who you talking to?
Feelings to bleed out and over you?
Just need more time to

She's home as the favourite son
So wonderful mm they love you still
Helena it's to soften you
In the way that having favourites will

In someone else's words
You're better off alone
If only all this heartache
Just didn't follow me home
You never want to leave
Cause where else could you go?
Can you learn from me?
Love's wave crashing on a heart of stone

She will not know your children
She will not learn your name
Many wasted nights have I tried
To love her all the same

Where'd you run to?
Forget that we see you from the blue?
Such pretty words
Who're you talking to?
Feelings to bleed out and over you?
Just need more time to
