Be Still Lyrics

Lace curtains drawn
For self-respect
Ripped down and torn
Now the neighbours will never forget
Don't let them forget

Time get hard
Then get harder still

A crack in the pain
The gap between
Those who remain
Those who have been
I'm cracked, I'm scratched
Bloody, but one thing
One thing stays the same

Time get hard
Then get harder still
I will be here
I will be here
Time get hard
I am harder still
I will be still

Birthday present
From the rag-and-bone shop
A heart that works too well
A heart that won't stop
Beating
Beating
Though sometimes I wish it would stop

Time get hard
Harder still
Time get hard
Harder still
Time get hard
Harder still
Time get hard
I am harder still
I will be still
