Brandi Carlile - Tragedy Lyrics

Sorry, I'm only
Human, you know me
Grown up, oh no, guess again

My days always
Dry up and blow away
Sometimes I could do that too
Make no mistaking

When you need a friend
You could count on anyone
But you know I'll defend
The tragedy that we knew as
The end

Progress, changing
Growing then giving up
Somehow we're never quite prepared
But I understand it

When you need a friend
You could count on anyone
But you know I'll defend
The tragedy that we knew as
The end

So taking you with me would be like
Taking all your money to the grave
Well, it does no good to anyone especially
The one you're trying to save
But it's so hard not to say

And when you need a friend
Hey, you could count on anyone
But you know I'll defend
The tragedy that we knew as
The end
