The Shins - Turn on Me (Exclusive Clint Mansell Remix) lyrics

You can fake it for a while Bite your tongue and smile like every mother does her ugly child But it starts to leaking out Like spittle from a cloud, ama**ed resentment pelting ounce and pound You entertaining any doubts? 'Cause you had to know that I was fond of you, fond of y-o-u Though I knew you masked your disdain I can see that change was just too hard for us, hard for us You always had to hold the reins, but where I'm headed you just don't know the way So affections fade away And do adults just learn to play the most ridiculous, repulsive games? All our favorite ruddy sons And their double-barreled guns, you'd better hurry, rabbit, run, run, run 'cause mincing you is fun And there's a lot of hungry hatters in this world, set on taking it over But brittle thorny stems They break before they bend and neither one of us is one of them And the tears will never mend 'Cause you had it in for me so long ago, boy, I still don't know I don't know why and I don't care, well, hardly anymore If you'd only seen yourself hating me, hating me when I'd been so much more than fair But then you'd have to lay those feelings bare, the one thing I know has still got you scared Yeah, all that cold ire and never once aired on a dare You had to know that I was fond of you, fond of y-o-u So I took your licks at the time And a change like that is just so hard to do, hard to do Don't let it whip-crack your life And I'll bow out from the fight Those old pious sisters were right The worst part is over Now get back on that horse and ride
