You wear guilt
Like shackles on your feet
Like a halo in reverse
I can feel
The discomfort in your seat
And in your head, it's worse

There's a pain
A famine in your heart
An aching to be free

Can't you see?
All love's luxuries
Are here for you and me

And when our worlds, they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

Bring your chains
Your lips of tragedy
And fall into my arms

And when our worlds, they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

And when our worlds, they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

And when our worlds, they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

And when our worlds, they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
