Roches - Rules lyrics

rate me

You did everything you could<br />

You had to go away from your home<br />

I never realized when i was a kid<br />

How alone, how alone<br />

Yeah well back in your neighborhood<br />

They knew you when you blew through town<br />

Behind your back they were putting you down<br />

<br />

They had<br />

Rules for this<br />

Rules for that<br />

Rule on top of rule<br />

Broke your back<br />

<br />

Once upon a time i was holding your hand<br />

A lady off the street came up<br />

She said hey mister i need some money<br />

You can't give enough<br />

I'll never forget the look in your eye<br />

As you dug into your pocket to give<br />

That look of love gave me a reason to live<br />

<br />

There are<br />

Rules for this<br />

Rules for that<br />

If you put rule on top of rule<br />

You can break someone's back<br />

<br />

Break the rules<br />

<br />

Just the other day i was breaking a rule<br />

My whole self was ashamed<br />

I thought the sky would open and cry<br />

Thunder and rain<br />

Yeah well there are many reasons<br />

I don't feel so good<br />

I'd forgive if i could<br />

<br />

But i got<br />

Rules for this<br />

Rules for that<br />

Rule on top of rule<br />

To break my back<br />

<br />

Break the rules<br />

Break the rules
