The Shins Turn on me Lyrics:
You can fake it for a while,
Bite your tongue and smile,
Like every mother does her ugly child.
But it starts to leaking out,
Like spittle from a cloud,
Amassed resentment pelting ounce and pound.

You're entertaining any doubts,
'Cause you had to know that I was fond of you,
Fond of Y-O-U,
Though I knew you masked your disdain.
I can see that change was
just too hard for us,
Hard for us.
You always had to hold the reigns,
But where I'm headed, you just
don't know the way.

So affections fade away,
Or do adults just learn to play
The most ridiculous, repulsive games?
All our favorite ruddy sons,
And their double-barreled guns,
you'd better hurry,
Rabbit, run, run, run.

'Cause mincing you is fun,
And there's a lot of hungry
hatters in this world,
set on taking over,
But brittle, thorny stems,
They break before they bend,
And neither one of us is one of them.

And the tears will never mend,
'Cause you had it in for me so long ago.
Boy, I still don't know,
I don't know why and I don't care,
well hardly anymore,
If you'd only seen yourself hating me.
Hating me,
When I'd been so much more than fair.
But then you'd have to lay
those feelings bare,
The one thing I know has still got you scared,
Yeah all that cold ire,
And never once aired on a dare

You had to know that I was fond of you,
Fond of Y-O-U.
So I took your licks at the time,
A change like that is just so hard to do,
Hard to do.
don't let it whip-crack your life.
And I'll bow out from the fight-
Those old pious sisters were right-
The worst part is over,
Now, get back on that horse and ride.
