The Work We Never Do Lyrics - Idlewild

Are you running away from the truth in the work we never do? 

As I twist myself out of sleep to face you 

Will you please pick someone else? 

I am awkward, I am not myself 

It's called worldly remiss 

So that is why I choose to stay awake 

When I'm dreaming and I hardly know your name 

But the games we used to play were not games 

Always, through all those years 

That you can't take back 

When you didn't choose to be here 

Are you burning by the truth in the work you never do? 

As I rearrange the way I look to suit you 

And you ripped your evening dress 

And forgot your evening sentences 

Like you're beautiful but not one bit useful 

How you wonder why I don't feel like dreaming 

'cause I hardly know your name 

And the games we used to play were not games 

Always, through all those years 

That you can't take back 

When you didn't choose to be here
