AlicebanD - Who You Wished I Was lyrics

Divided we fall into the darkness
Lying, feeling hot and cold and
Staring at the stars

Tell me am I who
You thought I’d be when
I was singing sweetly?
Am I who you wished I was?
Am I the warrior with the leather belt
And swords and armour
I will fight your battles
I will fall at your feet
She’s dusty and feels taken for granted
She’s taking no advice except her own

Tell me
Are you still a man when you’re sleeping?
Do you ever feel the cold?
And do you lie awake and think
About the things you can't control?
Are you simply getting old?

He’s scared of pushing her to hunger
Scared of saying something wrong

Tell me am I ever gonna turn it off?
Am I ever going to breathe?
Will I ever give this man a chance
To see that I am scared?
Much more scared than him

Hold your faith, hold your own
Say the words as if that's
Really what you’re thinking
Bite your feelings, bite your tongue
Don't talk unless it has some meaning

Protect your family protect your own
The cold has come, the light has gone
I'm not worthy and you’re better off alone
I'm not worth travelling so far
So save your money stay at home!

Close the door, keep out the cold
Hide your head in your hands
And keep that dirt bad thinking
Kick the walls, kick the drum
Kick the bucket, kick yourself
But keep on drinking

Protect your family protect your own
The cold has come, the light has gone
I'm not worthy and you’re better off alone
I'm not worth travelling so far
So save your money stay at home!

Keep it burning, keep it warm
Fall asleep as soon as you get home
Wash your body, wash your soul
You’ll still be dirty
And you’re still not whole!

Protect your family protect your own
The cold has come, the light has gone
I'm not worthy and you’re better off alone
I'm not worth travelling so far
So save your money stay at home!
