If you knew just what to say
Would things end up the same way?
Now you’re chasing better days
It was all going your way
You’re sounding like a salesman to yourself
You’ve made it pretty far
Still got places to go
I’ll get rid of these aches I feel
These pains, I’ll appeal
Get all the pleasures of the flesh I could know
You’re feeling the same feelings that you had
The promises of wealth have never been met
You think of everything you want, but ignore all of the things you already have
You’re looking like a pale man in poor health
You look back to the start
Wish you could do it again
When there was little to your name
But it mattered all the same
When I could still call you my friend
You looking to the past most of the time
Staring in the mirror just makes you sad
Not sure of the path you took, but remember all the stupid things you said
-
[CHORUS]
You said I’m leaving
I’ve got my reasons
Left it all to burn when you found religion
Now you talk about the rise in debt
You used to care about the lives instead
You said you’re sorry
The same old story
The past was their mistake, you celebrated glory
Now there’s tired excuses in your head
Made you care a whole lot less
-
Made you care a whole lot less
Made you care a whole lot less
-
You said you feel the love inside you
But everyone is just judged by you
Now I can’t
Take care of myself
You said you feel the love inside you
But everyone is just judged by you
Because your kind
Always take care of your own
Always take care of your own
Always take care of your own
Now I can’t take care of myself
Take care of myself
Take care of myself
Because your kind
Always take care

What We Are

You said this moment is never gone
You said we’ll stay like this 'til we’re young
(Now life is not what it used to be / now life is not what it used to be)
-
You said you’re not like the other ones
The feeling’s pure. The moment's gone
(Now life is not what it used to be / now life is not what it used to be)
-
Now what you say when you can‘t see
Lights up the dark, and means everything to me
Cause disappointment could have haunted all my dreams
But failure fades away when it turns to memories
-
You said we’re living in the good times. Watching it all pass everyone else by
(Now life is not what it used to be / now life is not what it used to be)
To live, to try to stop the time, to wait for the moment, but have the moment pass you by
(Now life is not what it used to be / now life is not what it used to be)
-
Now what you say when you can‘t see
Lights up the dark, and means everything to me
Cause disappointment could have haunted all my dreams
But failure fades away when it turns to memories
-
Now you’re trying to take it all away
From everyone
Who thinks this matters
-
Now what you say when you can‘t see
Lights up the dark, means everything to me
Cause disappointment could have haunted all my dreams
But failure fades away when it turns to memories
You gave up on your dreams
And failure faded and
The conversations
Turned to what we are, not what you became
-
Turn to what we are, not what you became
