Compassion

V1:
Compassion
to greet in all things
but you never asked this much.
The same old ache in my chest, now.
That's all we had.

Pre cho 1:
Bled dry, on and over a watchful eye.

There's a lighter side to the truth I hide.
So I set this down, and then I run.

V2:
It's convenient
a pretty picture for your friends.
That's all we had.

Pre cho 2:
You turned on me, on and over what I see.

There's a lighter side to the truth I hide.
So I set this down, and then I run.

Chorus:
Oh, the lengths I'll go to follow.
It's as if I know at every turn exactly what you want.
I'm leaving here tomorrow, unless I see another way
Unless I see it all. Compassion.

Pre cho3:
There's a lighter side to the truth I hide.
So I set this down, and then I run.

-Chorus-
