The Forest for the Trees Songtext
von No Real Hero

So what if I was told there′s some truth to every lie
I never was so cynical
I've only seen the world through other people′s eyes
Preoccupied individuals

This ain't a tragedy
We could've settled for more
But when it′s time to go
I won′t let you down
This ain't a tragedy
We could′ve settled for more
But when it's time to go
I won′t let you down

We've got food on the table but we′re still dodging the clock
Like it's an option anyway
We could appreciate what we've but I guess it wouldn′t feel right
To sleep soundly every night


Was it meant to be, is the path I should follow?
I′m beginning to think most people are shallow
If we can't see the forest for the trees
How can we expect to find our way back home

This ain′t a tragedy
We could've settled for more
But when it′s time to go
I won't let you down
This ain′t a tragedy
We could've settled for more
But when it's time to go
I won′t let you down

This is what we came here for
To press our ears against the door
Trapped in the fear of the unknown
One of many reasons we get bored
The things you′ve lost
The friends you've made
The dreams you had
The nights you′ve wasted
The weight you carry on your shoulders
Will never define you


This ain't a tragedy
We could′ve settled for more
But when it's time to go
I won′t let you down
This ain't a tragedy
We could've settled for more
But when it′s time to go
I won′t let you down
I won't let you down
I won′t let you fall down
