Faint Praise Lyrics by Ivory Wire

Notables & Nobodys

2006

[Intro]

[Verse]
Don't commit yourself to waiting
For some useless information
The attention you've been craving
Is it life saving
I hear faint praising oh

[Chorus]
If you close your eyes and you listen close
If you hold your breath 'til your heartbeat slows
They won't know it
They won't care either way
And the most you'll get is a little taste
It's just faint praise

[Verse]
When there's no explanation
While you wait in line to embrace 'em
And you kill yourself trying to please them
When contempt is all you're feeling
Oh who needs 'em all

[Chorus]
If you close your eyes and you listen close
If you hold your breath 'til your heartbeat slows yeah
They won't know
They won't care either way
And the most you'll get is a little taste
It's just faint praise

[Solo]

[Chorus]
If you close your eyes and you listen close
If you hold your breath 'til your heartbeat slows
Oh they won't know
And they don't care either way
And the most you'll get is a little taste
It's just faint praise
It's just faint praise
It's just faint praise
It's just faint praise
It's just faint praise
