lyrics

My friends told me
to bring some red wine and a cape
I was bound to be left in a disarmful state

My lover told me
to eat my silver lining from a plate
I felt quite alarmed; wasn’t I supposed to feel great?

My friends warned me
I was gonna be out until past eight
I felt quite allright as I told my parents not to wait

I wasn’t built to break, I wasn’t built to break, I wasn’t built to break for this.
I wasn’t built to break, I wasn’t built to break, I wasn’t built to break for this.

And I am so caught up in this house of mine
As I have never learned to disown
And I am still asleep, slipping un-, slipping under this house
And I am still asleep, slipping on, slipping un-, slipping un-, slipping un, slipping under

I guess I should have told them
that I’m scared to die
Sitting around in our chairs is no way to live by

I guess I should have told them
that it takes me a while to decide
Should I speak of these violets, falling beside me all the time?

And I am so caught up in this house of mine
As I have never learned to disown
And I am still asleep, slipping un-, slipping under this house
And I am still asleep, slipping on, slipping un-, slipping un-, slipping un, I’m slipping under
