lyrics

SPARE ME:

Spare me

Wear me 'round your neck

Stick around this town until you make your nest

In the pear tree

Soon to meet its end

Rotten fruit around my ankles

But it's sweeter than the rest



Spare me

Put me down like that

Cut me loose if what you need is living life without me

Blame

You forgot your place

Where's the laughter ever-after

If I’m standing in the way



I've been

Looking at this wrong

Pulling teeth, I went the wrong way

I couldn't hold my tongue

Hold me

Reason not to run

Burning feathers swarm around,

And slowly cover up the sun



I don't know you yet

You find me so down, but so blessed

I don't know you yet

You find me so down, but so blessed



What on earth are you crying for?

Pull the wool away, push the wall over

Do you still see the light of day?

I can't tell the teeth from fur



Spare me

Wear me 'round your neck

Stick around this town

Until you make your nest

In the pear tree

Soon to meet its end

Rotten fruit around my ankles

But it's sweeter than the rest



I've been

Looking at this wrong

Pulling teeth, I went the wrong way

I couldn't hold my tongue

Hold me

Reason not to run

Burning feathers swarm around,

And slowly cover up the sun



I don't know you yet

You find me so down, but so blessed

I don't know you yet

You find me so down, but so blessed

I don't know you yet

You find me so down, but so blessed

I don't know you yet
