Who You Wished I Was Songtext

Who You Wished I Was Songtext
Divided we fall into the darkness
Lying feeling hot and cold and staring at the stars
You tell me
Am I who, you thought I′d be when I was singing sweetly
Am I who you wished i was, am I
Am I the warrior with a leather belt
And swords and armour
And I will fight your battles I will fall at your feet
Dusty feels taken for granted
Taking no advice except her own
You tell me, are you still a man when you're sleeping?
Do you ever feel the cold?
Do you lie awake and think about the things you can′t control?
Are you simply getting old?
Scared of pushing her to hunger
Scared of saying something wrong
You tell me, am I ever going to turn it off?
And am I, am I ever going to breath?
Will I ever give this man a chance to see that I am scared
And I am much more scared than him
Hold your faith, hold your own
Say the words as if thats really what you're thinking
And you bite your feelings, bite your tongue
Dont talk unless it has some meaning
Protect your family
And you protect your own
The cold has come, the light has gone
And 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 hand
And keep that dirt bad thinking
And you kick the walls, you kick the drum,
You kick the bucket, you kick yourself
But keep on drinking
Protect your family
And you protect your own
The cold has come, the light has gone
And 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
And you protect your family
And you protect your own
The cold has come, the light has gone
And I′m not worthy
And you're better off alone
I'm not worth travelling so far
So save your money, stay at home
Lying feeling hot and cold and staring at the stars
You tell me
Am I who, you thought I′d be when I was singing sweetly
Am I who you wished i was, am I
Am I the warrior with a leather belt
And swords and armour
And I will fight your battles I will fall at your feet
Dusty feels taken for granted
Taking no advice except her own
You tell me, are you still a man when you're sleeping?
Do you ever feel the cold?
Do you lie awake and think about the things you can′t control?
Are you simply getting old?
Scared of pushing her to hunger
Scared of saying something wrong
You tell me, am I ever going to turn it off?
And am I, am I ever going to breath?
Will I ever give this man a chance to see that I am scared
And I am much more scared than him
Hold your faith, hold your own

And you bite your feelings, bite your tongue

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