How To Rest

Go on stack the cinder blocks in a cold sweat

Build yourself a citadel amid the foothills of regret

And though you've convinced yourself, you're safe and sound within

The thing you fear the most never need get in

'Cause you'll miss the Sun

The warmth of another's embrace

You'll need room to run

And something to chase

And that thing you fear will coax you out of that unholy place

As all you've ever wanted is an escape

Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again

Are making liars out of honest men

It's not something that you put to bed

Hang your head and just forget

No, love don't know how to rest

No, love don't know how to rest

Darling, when you've tired

You will see

There is no safe place, no sanctuary

It's all just child's play, a game of hide and seek

Don't make it harder than it has to be

Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again

Are making liars out of honest men

It's not something that you put to bed

Hang your head and just forget

No, love don't know how to rest

No, love don't know how to rest

Here's the truest thing I've ever known

The heart is just a muscle with a rhythm all its own

It doesn't stop when you decide not to move on

The heart knows nothing of your love or of your loss

So life just keeps on ticking by

Compelled by instinct to survive

And love's the only thing worth being alive for

And love's the only worth being alive for

Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again

Are making liars out of honest men

It's not something that you put to bed

Hang your head and just forget

No, love don't know how to rest

No, love don't know how to rest

It's okay, it's okay

Oh
