lyrics

You’re so honest it aches
Want to return the favor no matter what it takes
I thought that I’d made peace with the demons under my bed
Until you cracked me open with something that you said

My work is never done, my work is never done
My work is never done, the work is never done for me

You’ve got a lot of nerve to ask me a thing like that
And I was trying to pretend that I didn’t know the answer but on my shoulder there it sat
It took all my pride and effort just to keep my head held high
But I’m telling on myself because that posture was a lie

My work is never done, my work is never done
My work is never done, the work is never done for me

Somehow, even here, I find things that I love and hold so dear
Somehow I find, these things they get just a little bit lighter with some time

My work is never done, my work is never done
My work is never done, the work is never done for me

My work is never done, my work is never done
My work is never done, the work is never done for me
