Death Cab for Cutie - The Sound of Settling

---

I've always done quite well

But never in that sense

I've even planted flowers

And watched them grow at my expense

My hyper heart is not a blessing

It's a burden and a curse

And the rarity of my affliction

Only makes the matter worse

I doubt I ever will get back

That which I bestow

That specific form of happiness

I sadly must forgo

I'll be an eternal brother

A true and honest friend

When something weighs upon your heart

I'll have an ear to lend

And when my resolve is tested

I'll try to hold my tongue

I'll sacrifice my emotions

In an heroic act unsung
