Present Tense Songtext / Lyric

And she was always so defensive

Like nothing was ever her fault

Or her responsibility



And this is all i have left to hold

A delicate balance has been exposed

And now it towers around us all

Just goes to show life is so fragile



She used to smile when she'd say

"it's all so meaningless, anyway

So just forget, forget it"

And she was always so morose

Like this was all some bitter joke

But no one was laughing



And now when we speak about her

We never use the present tense

I guess that's what happens



It was safer when you were near:






Don't worry, it's not your fault

I know, i saw it happen

Don't worry, don't take the blame

I would have done the same thing



Don't listen to what it says

Your mind is out to get you

And anyone would do the same

If they had to walk round in your shoes



No matter what they do

No matter what they say

Don't let them bring you down

You can't control what other people think

How could you let them bring you down

How could you know that things could

End this way

Don't you let them bring you down

Don't worry, it's not your fault



Anything could happen- and it will
