lyrics

EGG SHELLS
Whitmey/Footman
She’s nearly seven stone today Can’t you tell the extra weight? Nothing’s wrong, she’s in control She knows everything’s alright
He had a drink today
It’s ok, it’s past midday Nothing’s wrong, comfortably numb He knows everything’s alright
And then they weep,
And crumble to the floor
In too deep,
And everybody walks on egg shells
Taking on all their pain,
She knows that they’ll never change Nothing’s she can be strong
So it has to be alright
And then she weeps,
And crumbles to the floor
In too deep,
And everybody walks on egg shells
Just have to speak
A problem shared is a problem halved, A little win
Nobody has to walk on egg shells
Every time, I see you, I want to see you We’re not the only ones
We’re not the lonely ones
CHORUS
