Biko - Bloc Party

you're not doing it, this
alone
you're not doing
you're not doing this

For my sweetheart, the Melancholic
You have crossed the river styx
And the waves have taken you away
As I lay my head on your chest
I can hear it in your veins
Wake me up when you come to bed
so, toughen up
Biko, toughen up
Biko, toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

You're not doing this

Was my love not strong enough to
Bring you back from the dead?
If I could eat your cancer, I would,
But I can't

So I keep writing these songs for you
To steal you from your grave
We can dance in our front room, again
So, toughen up
Biko, toughen up
Biko, toughen up
I need you to be strong for us
So, toughen up
Biko, toughen up
Biko, toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

Don't you know that when you stand
You stand up for the both of us
Remember that when the darkness looms

You're not doing this alone

Every tear you shed is cleansing
Taking the pain away from you
I left you blueberries in the fridge
The little things that I can do
That I can do. That I can do.

I need you to be strong for us
So, toughen up
Biko, toughen up
Biko, toughen up

This world isn't kind to little things

You're not doing this
You're not doing this
N-n-not
You're not doing this alone
Y-y-you're
You're not doing this
N-n-not
You're not doing this alone
You're not doing this alone
You're...
You're not doing this alone

Resist, Resist, Resist, Resist!
So, toughen up
Resist!
Biko, toughen up
Resist!
Biko, toughen up
Resist!
I need you to be strong for us
So, toughen up
Resist!
Biko, toughen up
Resist!
Biko, toughen up
Resist!
This world isn't kind
Resist!
to little things

You're not doing this
You're...
You're not doing this
