"Richard Says (Home Demo)" lyrics

Whether you try to change your life
Or leave everything as it stands
And measure the days as they drain away
The answer lies in your hands

You stare at the window rather than meet my eye
You're as cold as the north-coast sky

But I can't believe that you want to be unhappy and alone
Maybe it's the only way you've known

But I'm not trying to say to you
That my life's the only way
'Cause you got your own reasons
And particular bills to pay

You've carried so much guilt now for such a long time
And you never even enjoyed the crime

And I can't believe that you want to be unhappy and untrue
Richard says I'm naïve and that you do

So, maybe you do
Maybe you do
I guess you do
