Pity and Fear Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I have such envy
For this stranger lying next to me
Who awakes in the night
And slips out into the pre-dawn light
With no words, a clean escape
No promises or messes made
And chalks it all up
To mistake, mistake, mistake
[Chorus]
And there are no tears, just pity and fear
And a vast ravine right in between
[Verse 2]
A storm at sea
The bow cracked and I was capsizing
And I sunk below
Where I swore I would never go
If you can't stand in place
You can't tell who's walking away
From who remains
Who stays, who stays, who stays
[Chorus]
And there are no tears, just pity and fear
And a vast ravine right in between
Spare no tears, just pity and fear
And I recall the push more than the fall
The push more than the fall
I have such envy
For this stranger lying next to me
Who awakes in the night
And slips out into the pre-dawn light
With no words, a clean escape
No promises or messes made
And chalks it all up
To mistake, mistake, mistake
[Chorus]
And there are no tears, just pity and fear
And a vast ravine right in between
[Verse 2]
A storm at sea
The bow cracked and I was capsizing
And I sunk below
Where I swore I would never go
If you can't stand in place
You can't tell who's walking away
From who remains
Who stays, who stays, who stays
[Chorus]
And there are no tears, just pity and fear
And a vast ravine right in between
Spare no tears, just pity and fear
And I recall the push more than the fall
The push more than the fall
