Taking it slow, saving up she
Before she know it, all I ask before she goes home
She's tired of cryin and sick of his lies
She's suffered him for far too many years of her life

Feeling low, and scared that he'll say
Do you know how over time you drove her away
Saving up for, the day when she goes
The day that she stands up
for everything that she chose

(She can say, Who knows what shes gonna say?)
(She Can Say)

Saving up for, the day when she goes
The day that she stands up
For everything that she chose
Taking the kids and driving away
Turn around the life she let him siphon away

And I've been with you, for all of these years
Tell me what I've got to show for all of my tears
The times you hurt me, and treated me wrong
Something had to give to stop this thing from going on

(She Can say, Who knows what shes gonna say?)
(She Can Say)

She's tired of crying, and sick of his lies
She's suffered him for far too many years of her life
Feeling low, and scared that he'll say
Do you know how over time you drove her away

Sun
(Repeated throughout the song.)

. . .


She can hold onto her own
If it comes to push and shove
She has kept a lookout on
Over what's left of their love

And he keeps himself held back
For both their peace of minds
But he's no less quick to know
To begrudge of what he finds

Ooh, see I should soon
Ooh, ooh, see I should soon

As they watch themselves grow old
As he helps her into bed
Just a hint of it survives
Just this talk inside his head

Ohh, I can't tell
How much all they seemed gay
And something in the way she tells me
I wish that I been gone

Ooh, see I should soon
Ooh, see I should soon
Ooh, see I should soon

. . .


While she waits, she holds her breath
And thinks about the things we said

And takes the modern song she knows
But now and then a hollow ghost

And everything she says she can fall for
She goes on so no one will know

Everything that she says she can fall for
She knows she'll be there on her own

And everything she says she can fall for
She goes on so no one will know

Everything she says she can fall for
She knows she'll be there on her own

And everything that she says she can fall for
She goes and she'll fall on her own

And everything that she says she can fall for
She goes and she'll fall on her own

I can see she's in for this
She can't see how
It can make her happy
And I can see

She's says she's gone forward
And she's crying
And see she's calling

Leave house
Leave house
Leave house
(And it's the first thing that I would do)
(And I'd make sure if I were you)
Leave house

They say that I'm lonely
That I hide away
That I hide away from all of you
And I can't see

She's says she doesn't follow
She need an answer
And see she's falling

Leave house
Leave house
Leave house
(And it's the first thing that I would do)
(And I'd make sure if I were you)
Leave house

Leave house
Leave house
Leave house
(And don't tell me what I should do)
(But I'd make sure if I were you)
Leave house

And she can call my number
The way she feels like home
And I'll come and catch her
When she feels she's gone

And we're both alone now
And yet we are not forever
The thing that makes us lonely
Will bring us back together

Leave house
Leave house
Leave house
(And that's the last thing that I would do)
(And I'd make sure if I were you)
Leave house

. . .


She's had four since he last saw her
But she keeps it to herself
He wonders how he's gonna tell her
He wishes he was seeing someone else

He won't tell, but he still needs her
That it helps him go around
When he gets home, the house feels empty
From the bed, from the bedroom to the ground

Sometimes when she goes out
Sometimes she goes, when she goes
She knows, sometimes she goes out
She said she grows old when she goes

. . .

Lalibela

[No lyrics]

. . .


If I can't be the man, tell me what I am
Tell me what I'm here for
If I can't be the one, tell her what I've done
What good can I be for

Did I not do enough and save the two of us
What more could I give her,
What more could I do to see her point of view
Why can't I believe her
