You hate this place, you've worn it out You bear your dreams, and live to lay them down Your tender skin is weathering And damned if you'll take another on the chin But I will be the one you run to I will hold you through the longest night Every time you're throwing dirt, you're losing ground I'm not the one you want to hurt, but I'm the only one around And you're losing ground You need your pain to brace your shell You'll die without it, but you'll live in hell I will be the one you turn to I will hold you even if you fight Every time you're throwing dirt, you're losing ground I'm not the one you want to hurt, but I'm the only one around And you're losing ground You're waking up, you're breaking down Are you screaming just to make a sound? When all of your alibi's are gone You're giving in, you're lashing out But there's nothing here to fight about I'm trying to love, I'm trying to hold on Every time you're throwing dirt, you're losing ground I'm not the one I am not the one you want, but I'm the only one around And you're losing ground
When I read that this started 13 years ago, I can't help but think "Where the hell was I?"" A beautiful song that belongs on record.
VH Rocks!!! Wish I could see them in concert, Matt is such a gifted song writer. Keep the songs coming Matt!!
Unbelievably beautiful
You hate this place, you've worn it out
You bear your dreams, and live to lay them down
Your tender skin is weathering
And damned if you'll take another on the chin
But I will be the one you run to
I will hold you through the longest night
Every time you're throwing dirt, you're losing ground
I'm not the one you want to hurt, but I'm the only one around
And you're losing ground
You need your pain to brace your shell
You'll die without it, but you'll live in hell
I will be the one you turn to
I will hold you even if you fight
Every time you're throwing dirt, you're losing ground
I'm not the one you want to hurt, but I'm the only one around
And you're losing ground
You're waking up, you're breaking down
Are you screaming just to make a sound?
When all of your alibi's are gone
You're giving in, you're lashing out
But there's nothing here to fight about
I'm trying to love, I'm trying to hold on
Every time you're throwing dirt, you're losing ground
I'm not the one
I am not the one you want, but I'm the only one around
And you're losing ground
