Powderfinger - Stand Yourself lyrics

If that apology from you meant anything I'd accept it now with grace Well you and I both know its just a ployfor you to save some face If you had any self respect you'd turn yourself in for your crime Everytime you tell yourself its alright Everytime you go to sleep at night Everytime you tell yourself its 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 Where 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 Everytime you tell yourself its alright Everytime you go to sleep at night Everytime you tell yourself its 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 Evergreen saints pray for natures sinners Preserving every petal that was so hard won Fold into her chest in a mother's crutch Relish in the lure of a distant sun Now I'm glad to see the world through the winter palette Where colour wheels stall between the green and blue No white, no snow melt, no ice bound lakes Just bird song strung across the cobalt blue, boy Everytime you tell yourself its alright Everytime you kiss your kids goodnight Everytime you tell yourself its alright It just becomes a bigger lie I hope that you can stand yourself tonight I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
