Emery - Civil Wars lyrics
[Emery - Civil Wars lyrics]
I remember your face in the mirror
I remember the look in your eyes
The subtlety of your secrets and
Whispers telling me
That I’m something I’m not
All the silly games you play and
Walk away with nothing to show
We shed this skin wherever we go
Pull yourself together once again or else
It’s all that she wrote
Your hands, my heart we’ll take it slow
The wars we wage inside our heads
The lies we can’t escape
We tasted fear from younger years
And buried our mistakes
The weaker ones are left behind
The wounded, good as dead
So tell me who you think you are
We’ll handle this like men
You think you’re tough then put your
Money where your mouth is
So afraid of the thought of
What you could become
The fight is here and it is
More than you had bargained for
Run away, run away it’s what you really want
The wars we wage inside our heads
The lies we can’t escape
We tasted fear from younger years
And buried our mistakes
The weaker ones are left behind
The wounded, good as dead
So tell me who you think you are
We’ll handle this like men
We’ve all got civil wars
We’ve all got civil wars tearing us apart
You fell on black days once again
And still you crawl under my skin
There is no rest, you’re always there
Killing myself is what I do best
You’re always there
You're always there
I remember the look in your eyes
The subtlety of your secrets and
Whispers telling me
That I’m something I’m not
All the silly games you play and
Walk away with nothing to show
We shed this skin wherever we go
Pull yourself together once again or else
It’s all that she wrote
Your hands, my heart we’ll take it slow
The wars we wage inside our heads
The lies we can’t escape
We tasted fear from younger years
And buried our mistakes
The weaker ones are left behind
The wounded, good as dead
So tell me who you think you are
We’ll handle this like men
You think you’re tough then put your
Money where your mouth is
So afraid of the thought of
What you could become
The fight is here and it is
More than you had bargained for
Run away, run away it’s what you really want
The wars we wage inside our heads
The lies we can’t escape
We tasted fear from younger years
And buried our mistakes
The weaker ones are left behind
The wounded, good as dead
So tell me who you think you are
We’ll handle this like men
We’ve all got civil wars
We’ve all got civil wars tearing us apart
You fell on black days once again
And still you crawl under my skin
There is no rest, you’re always there
Killing myself is what I do best
You’re always there
You're always there
