Inside the Whale No Reason to Be song lyrics

The sun falls, tides change, we begin to drift

Your favourite song plays loudly, drowning out the shift

I'm outside listening as you trash the place

But I can't bring myself to say this to your face

I'm too nice, or so you've told me

So I'll believe you and stay the old me

You'll never know – enjoy the show, dear

It's been so long I've forgotten how you laugh

And I doubt you do much of that when my name's attached

So let's just stick to what we hear from our friends

Let the page stay blank – how a non-story ends

Let our minds stay poisoned – how neglected wounds mend

You don't know – take time to grow, dear

I've never had a first and last

Independent of each other

And I'll never live down taking

What was another's

I don't know – if there's anything here

Is there now

Was there ever

I'll try to find it, while I try and hide it

And I'll try to make it, as I bend and break it

And you can stay distant, because right now in this instant

There's no reason to be here.
