Nigel Godrich - Riding To Vanity Fair lyrics

[Verse 1] I bit my tongue I never talked too much I tried to be so strong I did my best I used the gentle touch I've done it for so long You put me down But I can laugh it off And act like nothing's wrong But why pretend I think I've heard enough Of your familiar song [Chorus] I tell you what I'm going to do I'll try to take my mind off you And now that you don't need my help I'll use the time to think about myself [Verse 2] You're not aware Of what you put me through But now the feeling's gone But I don't mind Do what you have to do You don't fool anyone [Chorus] [Verse 3] The definition of friendship Apparently ought to be Showing support for the one that you love And I was open to friendship But you didn't seem to have any to spare While you were riding to Vanity Fair There was a time When every day was young The sun would always shine We sang along When all the songs were sung Believing every line That's the trouble with friendship For someone to feel it It has to be real or it wouldn't be right And I keep hoping for friendship But I wouldn't dare to presume it was there While you were riding to Vanity Fair
