- Carry The Zero Lyrics / with translationsI'm not knocking your want
to carry that home
took it with you
when you moved and got it broke
we counted them all alone
found the pieces
forgot to carry a zero
didn't add up
I can't be your
apologist very long
I'm surprised that
you'd want to carry that on
count your blemishes
they're all gone
you can't
putting them back on
I can't see your response
like they're waiting for your guard to fall
so they can see it all and you're so
occupied with what other persons are
occupied with
and vice versa
and you've become
what you thought was dumb
a fraction of the sum
yeah, you have become
yeah, you've become
a fraction of the sum
the middle and the front
and now it's coming back
hasn't it come too far?
I was trying to help but I guess
I pushed too hard
afraid it'll fall apartnow we can't even touch it
to carry that home
took it with you
when you moved and got it broke
we counted them all alone
found the pieces
forgot to carry a zero
didn't add up
I can't be your
apologist very long
I'm surprised that
you'd want to carry that on
count your blemishes
they're all gone
you can't
putting them back on
I can't see your response
like they're waiting for your guard to fall
occupied with what other persons are
occupied with
and vice versa
and you've become
what you thought was dumb
a fraction of the sum
yeah, you have become
yeah, you've become
a fraction of the sum
the middle and the front
and now it's coming back
hasn't it come too far?
I was trying to help but I guess
I pushed too hard
afraid it'll fall apartnow we can't even touch it
