Won't Get up Again

There is a ghost upon my lips
Of which whose taste I can't resist
To call upon each time I miss
That touch of grace that I long to feel again

Is there something that I don't realise
That hides behind a bed of lies
That calls me back down to my knees
That holds me down and won't let me up again

'Cause I've been here three times before
To pick my heart up off the floor
And I don't think I could take one more
And I sure as hell won't go back there again

'Cause even as I try to take these shackles off my arms
Everything about this should be ringing bells alarm
Saying, "Don't go back there, don't get mixed up
Don't get knocked down 'cause you won't get up again"

Move yourself into the eyes
Of all those lovers you despise
Then you can say with an open heart
That you got knocked down but got straight back up again

Even as we try to shake these shackles from our arms
Everything about us should be ringing bells alarm
Saying, "Don't go back there, don't get mixed up
Don't get knocked down 'cause you won't get up again"

Carry me into your arms
Until those silent bells alarm
Of which your eyes cannot disguise
You will always know that the next day's sun will rise

Impossible is just a word
The most ridiculous I've heard
To leave your lips up to this date
Let's give it all up and leave it all up to fate

Even as we try to shake these shackles from our arms
Everything about us should be ringing bells alarm
Saying, "Don't go back there, don't get mixed up
Don't get knocked down 'cause you won't get up again"

Even as we try to shake these shackles from our arms
Everything about us should be ringing bells alarm
Saying, "Don't go back there, don't get mixed up
Don't get knocked down 'cause you won't get up again"

I won't get up again
No I won't get up again
