lyrics

What you want from me isn’t mine to give
You hardly even remember why you’re angry
But I know you won’t forgive me for as long as you live

Hey You
Why you look so lonely?

There on top of that weight you bear, sits a crown of sparkling gold
And I’m the king of wishful thinking
To ever hope that you might take it off

Hey You
Why you look so lonely?
It ain't so bad
One thousand times I’ve told you
If the goings rough or when you loose your way
I’ll guide you home

It’s always been the same with you
Always heart in hand
That is why I love you but it’s also why I’ll never understand

Hey You
Why you look so lonely?
It ain't so bad
One thousand times I’ve told you
If the goings rough or when you loose your way
I’ll guide you home

Your spirit is the strongest that I am yet to meet
Even when you’re falling down
I’m always sure you’ll land right on your feet
And I just love watching you grow from day to day
I’m always facing towards you girl yes even when you’re pushing me away

Hey You
Why you look so lonely?
It ain't so bad
One thousand times I’ve told you
If the goings rough or when you loose your way
At any single moment of any random day
I’ll guide you home
