Backbone

Backbone

I want to keep on going
But haven’t got the heart
I need your help to finish, but
I need it from the start

The world should keep on spinning
The cares of one are small
Who am I to think you’re meant to be
Concerned for me at all

‘Cause you would always say to hold
The hand of someone else
You never want to hear the worst
To see it for yourself

Backbone

The thoughts I have meant nothing
Got nothing good to say
I’m blind leading the blind
It’s only leading me astray

The life you think I’m living
Is barely one at all
But I’m fine you needn’t mind me
I keep waving you along

‘Cause you would always say to hold
The hand of someone else
You never want to hear the worst
To see it for yourself

Said that I would come to see
You wanted me to grow
To thank you for the way you only treated me to show

Backbone

Shattered to think I could ask any more
Said I would see that when you’re gone
You scattered like leaves when I needed you most
You’ve always run
You’ve always run

You would always say to hold
The hand of someone else
You never want to hear the worst
To see it for yourself

Said that I would come to see
You wanted me to grow
To thank you for the way you only treated me to show
