Stand Yourself - Powderfinger

If an apology from you meant anything

I’d accept it now with grace

But you and I both know it’s just a ploy for you to save some face

If you had any self respect you’d turn yourself in for your crime

But every time you tell yourself it’s alright

Every time you go to sleep at night

Every time you tell yourself it’s alright

It just becomes a bigger lie

I hope that you can stand yourself tonight

In between days full of hypertension

Basking in the memories you hold so dear

Remember the vibrant defining moments

The king making manoeuvres and the grand ideas

I’m glad to see the world through a different window

But glory doesn’t colour every move I make

No lies, no fiction, no rose-pink lens

Just a truthful look at the love I gave to you

But every time you tell yourself it’s alright

Every time you go to sleep at night

Every time you tell yourself it’s alright

It just becomes a bigger lie

I hope that you can stand yourself tonight

I hope that you can stand yourself tonight

I hope that you can stand yourself tonight

Hallelujah I found love

Hallelujah I found love

Every praying saints pray for natures sinners

Preserving every pillar that was so hard upon

Fold into the chest of a mother’s clutch

Relish in the lure of a distant sun

Now I’m glad to see the world through the winter ballad

The colour wheels stall between the green and blue

No white, no snow melt, no ice bound lakes

Just a bird song strung across the cobalt blue

But every time you tell yourself it’s alright

Every time you kiss your kids goodnight

Every time you tell yourself it’s alright

It just becomes a bigger lie

I hope that you can stand yourself tonight

I hope that you can stand yourself tonight

I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
