lyrics

Signs Of Weakness

I’d be happy to swear on anyone’s grave
And declare I’ve made my last mistake
No more harm or chinks in my armour
Will ever come my way again
Because all doors to this old heart have now closed

For the longest time I thought it was wise
To disguise it the only way I knew best
The bravado of lager provided both cloak and dagger
It helped numb the knives in my chest
All drunken doors to this old heart have now closed
All crooked paths don’t lead to my heart anymore

And I won’t show
I won’t show weakness or show my scars
No, I won’t show weakness or show what is really in my heart
No, I won’t show signs of weakness
I’m done with truth
No, I won’t show
I won’t show weakness to anyone
To anyone… to anyone but you

Don’t try getting in
This heart’s now a tin that has been factory sealed
It’s been closed to all the bastards
Since I put a plaster on my slashed Achilles heel
All bloodied doors to this old heart have now closed
All perilous paths don’t lead to my heart anymore

And I won’t show
I won’t show weakness or show my scars
No, I won’t show weakness or show what is really in my heart
No, I won’t show signs of weakness
I’m done with truth
No, I won’t show
I won’t show weakness to anyone
To anyone… to anyone but you
