How to Rest

Go on stack the cinder blocks in a cold sweat
 Build yourself a citadel amid the foothills of regret
 And though you've convinced yourself, you're safe and sound within
 The thing you fear the most never need get in
 'Cause you'll miss the sun, the warmth of another's embrace
 You'll need room to run and something to chase
 And that thing you fear will coax you out of that unholy place
 As all you've ever wanted is an escape
 Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again
 Are making liars out of honest men
 It's not something that you put to bed, hang your head and just forget
 No, love don't know how to rest
 No, love don't know how to rest
 Darling, when you've tired, you will see
 There is no safe place, no sanctuary
 It's all just child's play, a game of hide and seek
 Don't make it harder than it has to be
 Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again
 Are making liars out of honest men
 It's not something that you put to bed, hang your head and just forget
 No, love don't know how to rest
 No, love don't know how to rest
 Here's the truest thing I've ever known
 The heart is just a muscle with a rhythm all its own
 It doesn't stop when you decide not to move on
 The heart knows nothing of your love or of your loss
 So life just keeps on ticking by
 Compelled by instinct to survive
 And love's the only thing worth being alive for
 And love's the only worth being alive for
 Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again
 Are making liars out of honest men
 It's not something that you put to bed, hang your head and just forget
 No, love don't know how to rest
 No, love don't know how to rest
 It's okay, it's okay
