LYRICS
______________________________
Broken, bitter heart
Whisper into every part
But you can't keep me down
Great, almighty clock
You can tick and you can tock
But you can't keep me down
Old games dressed up new
Borrowed me and dyed me blue
But they can't keep me down
Hard pride combed my hair
Tied me to his rocking chair
But he can't keep me down
You cold, unfeeling world
You've got a lot to learn
And I've got a lot to learn
But I'm trying not to hide
And open us these windows from the inside
Pretty words I couldn't trust
Covered me with fairy dust
But they can't keep me down
Best laid plans fell through
Get back like I told you to
You can't keep me down
You cold, unfeeling world
You've got a lot to learn
And I've got a lot to learn
But I'm trying not to hide
And open us these windows from the inside
White gold diamond band
I wore you on a younger hand
But you can't keep me down
Half pale, teasing moon
Better light is coming soon
And you can't keep me down
You cold, unfeeling world
You've got a lot to learn
And I've got a lot to learn
But I'm trying not to hide
And open us these windows from the inside
Worn out, hopeless love
You're still the one I'm dreaming of
But you can't keep me down
