Live @ The Square

by Hadleigh Ford

/
1.
A butterfly fell down and broke a wing and all the air rushed out But it's not a break, it's more a twist and then a slide and all the air rushed out... If you want me to I'll burn If you want me to I'll bleed for you I give myself to you Because I love you So I cupped my hands and cradled you inside All the air rushed out... To wait for the day we'll spread our wings and fly
2.
Like a moth to a flame or some sick twisted game You just couldn't leave him alone He's the trophy you've won can't you see what's to come? You're kicking me out of my throne It's the Emperor's new clothes There are highs and some lows But there's one thing you're too blind to see When you kick off your robes you'll find you're alone It's too late to turn back for home The emperor looks into the mirror and smiles, "These robes are the best I have seen" But she's so blind she just sees what she's aching to see Appearance has tricked her once more You walk through the town Watch your subjects all watch the ground Does she know that she's been fooled again When the deal of the century becomes the hand offs you lent me Then you'll know you never should have strayed from me
3.
Watch your mouth, all your sins will be blessed if you trust and follow your heart Hold your tongue, because the truth has a way of finding it's way out. Over and over, I tried to let you know But you keep on coming back for more Watch your step, careful you don't fall Sometimes the ground rolls around and starts dragging you down to the floor Take a look around see what's left in store When you get kicked down get up and fight some more Over and over, I tried to let you know But you keep on coming back for more there's nothing that my heart wants more Over and over I tried to let you go.
4.
I'm pulling out my hair and I'm drowning in my clothes, because when nothing seems to fit and I've nowhere I could call my own So where do I go from here? I've been back there's nothing left there Where do I go from here? I've been back there's nothing left there It's so hard to reach you now that all the love's gone It's just so hard to please you now that all the love's gone It's just so hard to need you now that all the love's gone But it's so hard to leave you even though the love's gone Well I thought I try and go back I thought she might feel like home But there's nothing there except the old regrets well I guess we're not mechanical Because there's a felling needed in your heart Because there's a felling needed in your heart But there's no love for me inside your heart
5.
Just like the stars, you'll never change Always shining down, my arms reaching out to you And just like that picture, stuck in that frame You're inside of me and I'm inside you wherever you are You are my air you are the trees You are everything to me and I know you'll never leave When I need you back I just close my eyes and all the memories will fire and I feel you inside And though you're not there and I've no person to touch I just look up, look up and I know you're there You're somewhere... You are every amazing view that I've seen You're a part of this world The world I'd like to see By my moving around I might capture you again You are the voice in my head the keeps my conscience clean You're the fire in my heart, the music that I sing You are everything to me the man I dream to be You are everything to me the man I dream to be
6.
I've been told that my heart is just a muscle How come mine gets broken and never torn? I've been told that my hands are just for feeling. How come I can feel you in my heart I think that I've been wired wrong I've all these parts that just won't do their job I must keep trying keep on learning Till I find the way to fix my heart I'm waiting for you to start To come and be the scaffold that is holding up my heart Now I've learned that my skin is for protection Mine keeps getting burned by all your love Someone said that you brain can give direction My feet always lead me to your door Now I've learned that I'm to multiply My only aim is passing genes before I die But I don't care if I'm the last in line If I could waste my genes with you It would make all my dreams come true Before I fly away
