lyrics

Life goes on in fragments
So you show the world what you need it to see
So put on your smile, put on your brave face
And when the night comes your tears will keep you company

And it seems that I’ve been living
For two different people
One on the outside is smiling
And the other’s always crying
And I don’t want to keep
Going on with this battle
So I’m gonna let her free
Yeah the girl behind the glass

And I know that you’re scared
And that you don’t feel ready
And I know that you feel
Kicked down to the floor
And I’m sorry I wasn’t always there
I guess I was ashamed
I spent too much time listening to people that didn’t care

Chorus
So I made peace with the girl behind the glass
And I took her hand and said come on darling you better come with me
Because we’ve been at war for a while
So why don’t we see what it’s like to get on

And I know that you think this darkness is your home
And that you have been clinging to it time and time again
But let me tell you, you do not have to stay there
Come on inside there’s space for you here

Chorus

And why don’t you put away the gun my dear
Go and have some fun my dear
The war is over now it’s just a memory
And why don’t you put away the knife my dear
Go and live your life my dear
The battle’s over and no body won
And I know I bullied you for a while
‘Cos I thought you didn’t deserve to smile
And the criminals keep on walking
Well then we’ll let them fall
And the people keep on talking
Well then we’ll let them judge wrong

Chorus
