One Thing Can Hold Us
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.
Your pride's my pride
Your on your side
and I stand, tongue tied
with my lies
You see things in black
I see things in white
It's just a twist in the light
Like a church mouse
you run in your house
Years round I talk, you talk
One thing's good
and then one thing's bad
It's not your fault don't get mad
One thing can hold us
One thing can break us
It's the same thing
One thing can hold us
One thing can break us
It's the same thing
My pride's your pride
I'm on your side
We stand, tongue tied
with our lies
One thing can hold us
One thing can break us
It's the same thing
One thing can hold us
One thing can break us
It's the same thing
One thing can hold us
One thing can break us
One thing can hold us
One thing can break us
One thing can hold us
One thing can break us
