lyrics

It's as threadbare and brutal
as matters of the heart can be
I'm lowering my gaze now to start with
We're all fretting and faultless
when there's comfort in certainty
For the lonely and the present of mind

And there's plenty left to learn from
kinfolk and failure
So I'm playing this one close to the chest
My heart is wide open but I'm not saying nothing
For myself I'm saving my best

Make this as blunt as you can possibly make it
Cause I'm well versed at severing ties
And I'll be alright with my friends and some time
In hindsight it was well worth the try

(Chorus)

It's as threadbare and brutal as matters of the heart can be
I'm lowering my gaze once again
