Stand Still

Seems my words have gone down
With the bottle
And my fear is my only defense
Stand still behind a wall of anger
Stand still yeah, but I'm still by myself
You can't tell your heart how to feel
You can only get out of the way
And it seems as though
My pride has wandered
Yeah, and my voice is false
So now I'm left here wondering
Who it was that I thought I was being
When I was being myself
But you can't tell your heart
How to feel
You can only get out of the way
So now my love
She's turned a corner
And I'm stuck at a train
And it seems as though
My god has got a plan for me
But it's different from the plan
That I've made
You can't tell your heart
How to feel
You can only get out of the way
You can't tell your heart
How to feel
You can only get out of the way
Get out of the way
