Lyrics
It isn't you - it's the times
my mind was miles away those nights
I never guessed that you'd be right
I thought it meant a better life
As you can tell by the shell of my pride
the bell seldom leads to the door
And we don't even know what it's for
It isn't you - it's the baby's eyes
Some days it makes me want to try
To spin the wrong things into right
As silver turns to salt in sunlight
There's more than one light burning inside
Lights are just stars and they die
And we don't even pay for the ride
It isn't you - it's the life
It always keeps me out away at nights
You've never seen the worst of fights
The ones that hurt the most are inside
And don't you think that I know
you were meant for much more
as we wait for the ships to arrive
And we don't even come out alive...
It isn't you - it's the times.
