Lyrics 

You are not the saint 
We brought you up to be 
We filled your voids with sin 
And we clipped your wings to see 

Would you try and fly the nest? 
Would you find a different tree? 
Can we wish you all the best? 
Can we try to make you see?

That it's safer for this town 
If you never try to leave 
Because the kin you leave behind 
Dictate what you achieve 

So try and settle down
Swallow all that you believe 
Pick a pain to break your heart 
And wear it on your sleeve 

Cos your head's gone and your heart's not in it
Your head's gone and your heart's not in it
Your head's gone and your heart's not in it
Your head's gone and your heart's not in it

You are not a saint 
Who taught you to believe 
All your hopes and dreams 
Got caught between your teeth 

Have you checked your head and chest?
Don't forget your phone and keys 
Can I wish you all the best? 
Don't forget me when you leave...

Cos I'm not safe here in this town 
Twice monthly mourners meet 
And the pain they leave behind 
Day and night the mothers grieve 

Coal starved forgotten towns 
Where we learnt to be 
And we keep you in our hearts and we'll wear you on our sleeves

Cos you're headstrong and your hearts still in this 
You're headstrong and your hearts still in this 
You're headstrong and your hearts still in this 
You're headstrong and your hearts still in this

Ophelia Headstrong

Lyrics

You're still in love with 
A boy you left behind 
As he got older
You got wiser 
He got colder 
And it hurts so much when he didn't stay in line.

Have you seen the things he wears?
His skinny ties? Receding hair?
For all you say you can't get him out of you head! 
Did he cross a line?
Did he kiss your lips? 
Can you feel him running through your fingertips?
Thoughts and fantasy that keep your mind well fed

His mind's still stuck in 
A place we left behind 
He's not wiser 
He's older 
Two slopes for his shoulders 
And it hurt so much what's he gone and done  this time ?

Have you heard the things he said about all the girls who share his bed?
He lost respect and he's lost his taste this time! 
Well he snakes around and sheds his skin 
And slithers off as you begin 
To blame yourself for someone else's crimes

You gave him distance and you made the time 
Between the lump in your throat and the back of your mind
You gave him distance and you made the time 
Between the lump in your throat and the back of your mind
You gave him distance and you made the time 
Between the lump in your throat and the back of your mind
You gave him distance and you made the time 
Between the lump in your throat and the back of your mind!
