Lyrics
Backbone
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.
Said you believe in the absence of everything
Faith always leaves in the silence of morning
I don't pretend that I have any answers
But I defend all of your good intentions
Don't hold his broken heart
I don't belong with the things you're missing
Lost underneath your intentions are wallowing
Do me a favour and drift away slowly
Finding your heart in the river lonely
I said I don't have any answers
Just the obvious one
Your river is devoted
To find an open sea
I never trusted anger
To bring a good idea
Your river is devoted
To find an open sea
I never trusted anger
To bring a good idea
Don't have to break your backbone
Saved for the lucky one
I don't pretend I have all the answers
Just the obvious one
You don't have to break it
You don't have to break it
You don't have to break it
You don't have to break it
