lyrics

I made this just for you
It's finally ready so what do you think?
Go easy on me please
I've been working on this for months
Or I guess now it's been years
How quickly the time has passed

From the moment your inviting smile
Sunk its teeth into my skin I never stop thinking
Of repairing that one tiny broken part
That no one else ever seems to notice
But it's something that I just can't unsee
And I believe in my solution because
I've succeeded in little spurts in making you forget
I've seen the pain flicker and momentarily fade
Around me you never have to pretend
We both know that I can help you

And yeah, I know, 'cause it's pretty clear
I'm not quite what you've been searching for
And yes this is a lot of time and effort
You'll soon be free to crumple and toss in your fire
But it's something that I just couldn't help but do
And I'd be lying if I said I didn't aspire
To be thanked with all the affection that you have to give
But if I can only catch a single momentary flash
Of unaffected happiness in your eyes
Then it will all be worth it

I made this just for you
It's finally ready so what do you think?
Go easy on me please
I've been working on this for months
Or I guess now it's been years
How quickly the time has passed

Non Canon II
by Non Canon

Good (largely political) album for the times. Lots of creative ideas in the lyrics, and it sounds quite different from the first Non Canon album. Amanda Rose Riley
