Snow Patrol › Lyrics › How to Be Dead

Please don't go crazy if I tell you the truth
No you don't know what happened and you never will if
You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing, it's been out in the hall

Where you've had me for hours
Till I'm sure what I want
But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before
So sweetheart tell me what's up, I won't stop, no way

Please keep your hands down, stop raising your voice
It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice
It's a simple suggestion, can you give me sometime
So just say yes or no, why can't you shoulder the blame?

'Cause both my shoulders are heavy
From the weight of us both
You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth
You've not heard a single word I have said, oh my God

Please take it easy it can't all be my fault
I haven't made half the mistakes that you've listed so far
Oh baby let me explain something, it's all down to drugs
At least I remember taking them and not a lot else

It seems I've stepped over lines
You've drawn again and again
But if the ecstasy's in, the wit is definitely out
Dr. Jekyll is wrestling Hyde for my pride
