Comfort Comes

Need someone to nurse me Reach out for the first person I see Comfort the helpless sole vanity Caressing the broken heart of me The difference between love and comfort Is that comfort's more reliable and true Brutal and mocking but always there A crutch for enmity's saddest glare I wish that someone would hold me Wrap their arms around a shrinking somebody Comfort comes and me till the mourning Whispered words of sanctuary The difference between love and comfort Is that comfort's more reliable and true Brutal and mocking but always there A crutch for enmity's saddest glare Is that comfort's more reliable and true Brutal and mocking but always there A crutch for enmity's saddest glare Forgetting how I hate self pity blonde Comfort comes and smoothes her over Calloused hands turn a beautiful dress Handcuffs now her pearl bracelets --- Comfort Comes - Manic Street Preachers
