Franklin Bruno Just Because It's Dying Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You don't stop loving something just because it's dying, do you?
You keep on hoping it will live
As when you first discovered that your lover's lying to you
And look for reasons to forgive
When you see the fireworks fizzle
Hit the lake, and start to sizzle
Don't you wish for one last missile to illuminate the sky?
So do I

[Bridge]
Some people lead a crippled dream out back to shoot it
At the very first suspicion that it's lame
Others let theirs limp along, although their legs aren't very strong While there's a single, shaky step left in their frame
You don't stop loving something simply out of shame

[Verse 2]
Although the laws of motion don't just stop applying to you
And everybody comes to rest
You don't stop loving something just because it's dying, do you?
You press the clappers to its chest
Turn the knobs and flick the switches
Swear you'd give up untold riches
For a fusillade of twitches to uncannily occur
Now watch it stir
