Bury It and Smile by El Oso Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2005

"Don't try to move, you've been through a lot
What hurts more, what you did or did not?"
"Oh, I confess, as anyone would
In my blood, I did what I could"
"A regular Robin Hood, hey? Tell me the truth"
"I undid the locks, felt the heat through the door
A voice like my brother's, but distant and hoarse
Called me by name and for my mother, too
That's all I remember before talking to you"
"What if I said that I held in my hand
Every breath that fell from your lips that could put you away?"
"I admit that I envied his place in life
And the way I'm finding my fate, never shall that change
Mom said she lost it along with the war
Our father, shot dead, on the day w were born
As cruel as that was, worse yet was the crime
Of God giving my brother lungs half the size of mine
But we live like good English, we bury it and smile"
For everything good, there's something to bury
