You shouldn't have it

It's taken me far too long to hide it from you now

You should keep it, such a precious thing to give away

You found it easy to break in through these walls I thought I'd built so well

But not so easy for my head to turn and find you there

Are you running from the same dogs that are snapping at my heels?



My heels have been chewed up so much lately, that it's hard for me to stand up

I have taken every precaution to stop it all adding up, adding up



They shouldn't have it, it's been built up to something nowhere near

I wish that it was creeping up on them, filled up with fear

But no matter, no matter how fast I go, I'm never as fast as slow

I found my feet getting tangled in the traps you laid so well



Are you running from the same dogs that are snapping at my heels?

My heels have been chewed up so much lately, that it's hard for me to stand up

I have taken every precaution to stop it all adding up, adding up



Do you remember when she asked me if I was ok

If I had anything to say?

We looked at each other in disbelief

We fell over laughing at her feet

She's treading an unforgiving path

That will never take her back

Do you think that put her in her place?

Do you think she saw the answers on my face?
