Only the Brave

Pour mercy, mercy on me Set fire to history I'm breaking my own rules I'm crying like a fool Tall stories on the page Short glories on the faint I've been close enough to touch But I never cared for love It's the church of burnt romances And I'm too far gone to pray It's a solo song And it's only for the brave If the truth tell Darling, you feel Like there ain't enough dying stars in your sky It's a tall tale And it's only hello, hello, no goodbye Pour mercy, mercy on me I'll fall upon my knees And they'll say, "I told you so" Come on, when you know, you know Oh, the lonely shadow dances From the cradle to the grave It's a solo song And it's only for the brave
