"How To Rest" lyrics

Go on stack the cinder blocks in a cold sweat
Build yourself a citadel amid the foothills of regret
And though you've convinced yourself, you're safe and sound within
The thing you fear the most never need get in

'Cause you'll miss the sun
The warmth of another's embrace
You'll need room to run
And something to chase
And that thing you fear will coax you out of that unholy place
As all you've ever wanted is an escape

Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again
Are making liars out of honest men
It's not something that you put to bed
Hang your head and just forget
No, love don't know how to rest
No, love don't know how to rest

Darling, when you've tired
You will see
There is no safe place, no sanctuary
It's all just child's play, a game of hide and seek
Don't make it harder than it has to be

Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again
Are making liars out of honest men
It's not something that you put to bed
Hang your head and just forget
No, love don't know how to rest
No, love don't know how to rest

Here's the truest thing I've ever known
The heart is just a muscle with a rhythm all its own
It doesn't stop when you decide not to move on
The heart knows nothing of your love or of your loss

So life just keeps on ticking by
Compelled by instinct to survive
And love's the only thing worth being alive for
And love's the only worth being alive for

Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again
Are making liars out of honest men
It's not something that you put to bed
Hang your head and just forget
No, love don't know how to rest
No, love don't know how to rest
It's okay, it's okay

Oooo
