Pet Grief

The Radio Dept. Pet Grief Lyrics
1.It's Personal

Instrumental


2.Pet Grief

And then he's gone
Never put up a fight
You think you know someone, right?
Maybe you never did, and how that scares you
I'll shut my mouth for you
Just like your friend would do

And this pet grief
It's just too bad
I've never seen you this sad
And if you need someone who doesn't talk back
I'll shut my mouth for you
Anything you want me to

What can I say?
What can I do?
Don't mean to analyze you
It is a double bind
I can't win this one
I'll shut my mouth for you
Anything you want me to


3.A Window

I'm proud of both my hands
I just won't get loud about it
I'm proud of both my hands
I just won't get loud about it
Don't want to shout about it
Can't brag about it, no
I'm proud of both my hands
I just won't get loud about it
I don't consider this a chance
Or a window
Still proud of it
I couldn't live without it
No doubt about it, no

Can't get into the swing
Of things
Entanglements
Embarrassments
It always ends like this


4.I Wanted You To Feel The Same

I sometimes got so tired of our game
I wanted you to feel the same
And did I say I liked you on the plane?
I wanted you you to feel the same

I wanted you you to feel the same

It breaks my heart to say that when I was in pain
I wanted you to feel the same
But nothing gets you really
It's a shame
I can't believe you didn't feel a thing

I wanted you you to feel the same


5.South Side

Instrumental


6.Every Time

'Change your mind
We'll drink some other time
One night out
You won't miss out on much

I won't be heald responsible this time
It's not my fault if you don't change your mind

Change your mind
This problem's yours not mine
You always find
Someone to pin things on

Just don't make me responsible this time
It's not my fault if you don't change your mind'


7.What Will Give?

Bloody but unbowed
You turn to face the crowd
How can you bring yourself to even care?
Show me a weakness if you dare

What will give?
Be sensitive
Keep it pure, be secretive
Of this I'm sure
How I want to hide
Like Jandek before playing live

You fell on deaf ears after screaming cheers
You'd seen it all before
In your mind
You saw it all before
In your mind

9.Sleeping In

Sleeping when the day breaks
Dreaming as the evening falls
He's got no more headaches
Leaving us with empty walls
The last of many efforts

I know it's not my place
But I don't even wonder why
What commitment
What grace
To just refuse to be alive


10.Tell

Betrayal is always sad
Needless to say what you could have had
Of course you have it still
But based on a lie that you always will
Repeat till it clings true
I've been lied to by the likes of you
From that point of view
I get the privilege to enlighten you

On what I'm doing to help her
She needs some shelter
And if you've felt her loyalty what can you do?

Will you keep this up,
As long as you can if I don't make it stop?
I don't have a clue
Of what you are about to do
Would you fool me too?
I've been lied to by the likes of you
From that point of view
I get the privilege to enlighten you

On what I'm doing to help her
She needs some shelter
And if you've felt her loyalty what can you do?

I'm trying to help her
She needs some shelter
And if you've felt her loyalty what can you do?


11.Always A Relief

It's always a relief to see you again
It's as if you don't change and you always complain

We hate different things
And different tastes
How people sing
What they create
Want to feel the illusion
The confusion

Some nerve to go against me now that we're ahead
You want to know how hard you'd fall if you did?

It feels like our time has gone to waste
Want to feel strong and not like a waste
Want to feel the illusion
The confusion
