Just Grin and Bare it Lyrics

It's five where you're coming from

And it's time I come undone

I'm filling the empty spaces

Untying the past like these old used shoe laces

With the words hanging off the tip of my tongue



And I remember a place far from here

High above the rest of the world

A hill top I was prepared to sit upon for years

I'd search silently, and for you i'd do so without tears



And I never felt more alone

Than while you were away from home

I know i owe you nothing

But i'm gonna' show you something

I'm gonna' show you something, more

Even on the hardest of days I kept my foot in the door

Just so it'd never shut closed

So my love could come back if she chose

So she could always come back when she chose



While we were away searching for some final destination

You called without hesitation

To let me know you were happier without me

But I said to myself "just grin and bare it"

Because I knew you could never swear to it



Well times change, as does the weather

And like I remember saying in that letter

"I'm doin' just fine, but always as promised you still haven't left my mind,

yeah I still think about you all the time."



And I never felt more alone

Than while you were away from home

I know i owe you nothing

But i'm gonna' show you something

I'm gonna' show you something, more

Even on the hardest of days I kept my foot in the door

Just so it'd never shut closed

So my love could come back if she chose

So she could always come back when she chose



I know I owe you nothing

But i'm gonna show you something

Yes, I'm bound to show you something

And this is something i'm not again willing to lose

But the doors still held open

So you can come home whenever you choose.
