You had a house and garden outside
Why do you wanna throw it all away, to a charlatan
All your glitter is not gold
A liar, a cheater, a home wrecker
All things you never win
Don’t give up the ship
Stay the course don’t draw the line
And why must you wait
For the simple things that you deny you belong
Until that day, when you threw it all away
Your dreams started unfolding again
And your broken heart never mend
How am I supposed to feel, you know I can’t pretend
But all you can say is that nothing’s wrong
You dug yourself in a ditch
Don’t give up the ship
Stay the course don’t draw the line
You’ve been in a mess
And it’s not just me thinking you’ve waded too far
How many times does your fool come to
And what will he say, about this child that no one’s aware
Walking your way through broken glass
Deceptions fall from days gone past
Bow down to her majesty
The one that never seems to see
Don’t give up the ship
Stay the course don’t draw the line
And why must you wait
For the simple things that you deny you belong
