but you wound with your words so fine
we all get the lives that we deserve
what
you're cruel to my kind
do you think that I've got no feelings
left to hurt inside
your aim is high and you don't miss much
but my eyes are open wide
if I'm gonna have to push the boat out
to meet that tidal wave
I'm gonna need more than a moment
to find a face that's brave
and if I'm looking in the desert
to find the blazing flowers
I'm gonna need more than a minute
more like twenty four hours
run that by me one more time
I gotta have a chance to recover
run that by me one more time
I gotta have a chance
run that by me one more time
before you blow my mind and my cover
run that by me one more time
cos I'm strong enough
so you saw this coming did you
you give pride while I take the fall
you never thought to warn me did you
just sit back and watch it all you straightjacket my dreams
and chainsaw my intentions
I hate to shatter your illusions
but I'm strong enough to carry on
if I'm gonna have to push the boat out
to meet that tidal wave
I'm gonna need more than a moment
to find a face that's brave
and if I'm looking in the desert
to find the blazing flowers
I'm gonna need more than a minute
more like twenty four hours
run that by me one more time
I gotta have a chance to recover
run that by me one more time
I gotta have a chance
run that by me one more time
before you blow my mind and my cover
run that by me one more time
cos I'm strong enough
I get crushed while you never mind
I get crushed while you never mind
and this is all the well I have
excuse me whilst I dig it up dig it up
I get crushed while you never mind
I get crushed while you never mind
and this is all the strength I have
excuse me whilst I dig it up dig it up
run that by me one more time
I gotta have a chance to recover run that by me one more time
I gotta have a chance
run that by me one more time
before you blow my mind and my cover
run that by me one more time
cos I'm strong enough
run that by me one more time
you don't feel love
run that by me one more time
you don't feel why
