I Was Told Songtext
von Isbells

I was told not to lie or betray anyone
Wonderful ideals that I carried for so long
I was told not to fight, just turn the other cheek
Sometimes it feels like I can′t
Live up to this


Don't you know?
Everything is coming down
It′s coming down on me
Don't you know?
Everything is coming down
And I'm my own trustee

I was told to love and respect anyone
To stand up for the weak and share everything
I got I was told to trust and forgive when I must
Sometimes it feels like I can′t
Live up to this


Don′t you know?
Everything is coming down
It's coming down on me
Don′t you know?
Everything is coming down
And I'm my own trustee
