Stand Yourself Lyrics
If an apology from you meant anything
I'd accept it now with grace
But you and I both know it's just a ploy for you to save some face
If you had any self respect you'd turn yourself in for your crime
But every time you tell yourself it's alright
Every time you go to sleep at night
Every time you tell yourself it's alright
It just becomes a bigger lie
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
In between days full of hypertension
Basking in the memories you hold so dear
Remember the vibrant defining moments
The king making manoeuvres and the grand ideas
I'm glad to see the world through a different window
But glory doesn't colour every move I make
No lies, no fiction, no rose-pink lens
Just a truthful look at the love I gave to you
But every time you tell yourself it's alright
Every time you go to sleep at night
Every time you tell yourself it's alright
It just becomes a bigger lie
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
Hallelujah I found love
Hallelujah I found love

Every praying saints pray for natures sinners
Preserving every pillar that was so hard upon
Fold into the chest of a mother's clutch
Relish in the lure of a distant sun
Now I'm glad to see the world through the winter ballad
The colour wheels stall between the green and blue
No white, no snow melt, no ice bound lakes
Just a bird song strung across the cobalt blue
But every time you tell yourself it's alright
Every time you kiss your kids goodnight
Every time you tell yourself it's alright
It just becomes a bigger lie
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
