Lyrics Pity And Fear

I have such a envy
for this stranger lying next to me
Who awakes in the night
and slips out into the pre-dawn light
With no words, a clean escape,
no promises or messes made

And chops it all up to mistake, mistake, mistake

And there are no tears
Just pity and fear
And a vast ravine
Right in between

A storm at sea
the bow cracked and I was capsizing
And I sunk below
where I swore I would never go
If you can't stand in place
you can't tell who is walking away

From who remains, who stays, who stays, who stays

And there are no tears
Just pity and fear
And a vast ravine
Right in between

Spare no tears
Just pity and fear
And I recall
The first one to fall
The first one to fall
