Scott Lucas & The Married Men - Chin Up, Kid lyrics

Hey boy, keep your distance She don't owe you anything Ear to the ground and keep on listening But don't pretend you're right Don't pretend you're right She is softly skating She glides further, far away To leave you there intently gazing Until she's out of sight And she is out of sight All the time she's wasted Being on your side All the times she's hoped That your hard words were lies Give up your pride, your turn to cry She is microscopic You are lost inside the lens She will break you down to nothing And hope that you survive Just hope that you survive All the love for you That's gone unjustified Think about all the times That your well came up dry You know she tried Yeah, recognize Don't pretend you're right Don't pretend you're right Don't pretend you're right Don't pretend you're right I hope you don't think You're deserving sympathy You did it to yourself So get up on your feet No sympathy, not even tea Hey boy, keep your chin up There may be hope for you yet And if someday you're in her graces Don't you leave her side And don't you leave her side Don't ever leave her side And I won't leave your side Don't pretend you're right Don't pretend you're right Don't pretend you're right Don't pretend you're right Don't pretend you're right Don't pretend you're right Don't pretend you're right Don't pretend you're right Don't pretend you're right Don't pretend you're right Don't pretend you're right
