When I thought you wasn't looking
when I thought you didn't see
I counted out one for you and two for me
I kept the biggest for myself
I never thought to give you half
I was keeping score
I was losing track of my integrity..... my integrity
When you thought I wasn't looking
when you thought I didn't see
you paid for graveside flowers on my brothers anniversary
you made a toilet paper ladder
to help the spider from the bath
when the black dog comes a calling round only you can chase it back
You got integrity.... beautiful integrity
That si the difference between you and me
I got all these doubts and fears and insecurities
You let it happen you just let it be
whoever it is i think Im fooling
it sure ain't me ....integrity
I wish I could love you
But I can't love myself
Just being around you helps my mental health
You are so beautiful inside and out.
That inner light that surrounds you I can't live without your integrity
When i thought you wasn't looking
when i thought you didn't see
I made a paper boat and I pushed it out to see
I d written all the fears and worries
all those things I try to hide
Such a simple way of letting go a release I can't describe
Integerity... Working on my integrity
