The Thing You Cherish Most

If you need to be alone
Why don't you go and take a trip to the country
With the beasts and the trees and so on

Well if you're not feeling safe
How do you mean i'm gona make you any safer?
I don't look like an answer at all

But if you wanna fight
I'll let you knock me down
If you wanna lie
I'll let you fool me around
If you wanna break
The things you cherish most
Then why don't you start
By breaking up my heart
Before it turns to stone

When you say 'to be alone'
You mean you want to be alone forever
With some kind od teenage pride in the way?
'cos i've seen you many times
Fall down and pull yourself together
Partly ashamed
Partly bold
Partly mad

But if you wanna fight
I'll let you knock me down
If you wanna lie
I'll let you fool me around
If you wanna break
The things you cherish most
Then why don't you start
By breaking up my heart
Before it turns to stone

Then why don't you start
By breaking up my heart
Before it turns to stone

But if you wanna fight
I'll let you knock me down
If you wanna lie
I'll let you fool me around
If you wanna break
The things you cherish most
Then why don't you start
By breaking up my heart
Before it turns to stone
