[Verse 1]
Need someone to nurse me
Reach out for the first person I see
Comforts the helpless sole vanity
Caressing the broken heart of me

[Chorus]
The difference between love and comfort
Is that comfort's more reliable and true
Brittle and mocking but always there
A crutch for enmities saddest glare

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
I wish that someone would hold me
Wrap their arms around a shrinking somebody
Comfort comes and ease me till the morning
Whispered words of sanctuary

[Chorus]
The difference between love and comfort
Is that comfort's more reliable and true
Brittle and mocking but always there
A crutch for enmities saddest glare
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus - Variation]
Is that comfort's more reliable and true
Brittle and mocking but always there
A crutch for enmities saddest glare

[Outro]
Forgetting how I hate self-pity blonde
Comfort comes and smoothes her over
Calloused hands turn a beautiful dress
Handcuffs now her pearl bracelets
