Who Told You

It all makes sense now

I've come down

I should've seen it coming

For miles down the road

But at the time we never think

That it might've been ourselves to blame at all



You shudder and beat your chest

But you'll never warm yourself up

Believe me



Where were you

I've made it through

But only God can judge me now

I hope he's in



Why do hearts break

When we are on our own

Just when you need to pump the life back in yourself

And why do earthquakes

Happen miles away

When I only want the open ground to swallow me



Who told you

I'd not come through

Before I could speak to you in my defence

Who made you the righteous one

When I'd only turned around for half an hour



Why do truck lights

Tell an empty tale

Surely it's bad enough to end up on a floor

And you can scratch your chin

I think you understand

But how can you know what's going on inside my head

Maybe I'm better off alive and in my bed
