Let You Be

Shuffle your feet and complain

That you're carrying such a weight

Don't you know the bridge is under more of a strain

When it's heavy with ripened fruit?

And it's a weaker kind of love

That hides a fist inside a glove

Too much makes a joke of just enough

I won't ever give less than that to you

Human blood

Boiling free

I won't ever, ever, ever, ever

Let you be

Let you be

Yeah, your pride gets in the way

And it won't let you celebrate

Reminds you that the flag you wave

Is all mixed black and ocean blue

But any wounds that you sustain

Are proof you can live through the pain

Black and blue is no cause for shame

It'll only draw me closer to you

Whiplash lungs

You off your feet

But I won't ever, ever, ever, ever

Let you be

Let you be, ooh

That splinter in your side

I'm pulling out

That door you locked behind

I'm breaking it down

Nurse this wound, this hurt that haunts you

You tried to hide

But you're in the open now

Top heavy

Might swallow me

But I won't ever, ever, ever, ever

Let you be

Let you be

Oh, let you be

Let you be
