Stand Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I thought my resolve was too hard to be broken,
It's easy to pretend that you were just joking
There's no need to see plans through to fruition
Especially if, you've guessed the conclusion
Some of us want to go back to our families, stand down with Enrique Gatti x 2
A right to advise, advice I you're wise, there's no shame in, Giving in.
I'm delighted to have found
If it's too heavy, you can just put it down
The bravest decision you ever make
Is admitting that, you made a mistake
Some of us want to go back to our families, stand down with Enrique Gatti x 2
A right to advise, advice I you're wise, there's no shame in, Giving in.
Stand down, stand down, stand down, stand down
It's not a lack of determination, it's more heroic resignation
Some of us want to go back to our families, stand down with Enrique Gatti x 2
I've no right to advise, advice for the wise, there's no shame in, Giving up.
