Lyrics

Before the Wind

I love the way you cry
The way you hold it in
I love the way you look when you burn into my skin
I hate the way I lose
And I wish I could go cold
I hate when I can?t touch /when I can?t smell when I can?t hold it in

Why can?t we just be ourselves?
So many lives to throw before the wind
Why can?t we just be ourselves?
So many lies to throw before the wind

It?s all I want to do
It?s all I need to know
It?s all to wait for you to shoot your eyes into my soul
But then I spend the day
Feeling desolate and cold
In a place where I can?t touch/ where I can?t smell I have to hold it in

Why can?t we just be ourselves?
So many lives to throw before the wind
Why can?t we just be ourselves?
So many lies to throw before the wind

And when the day is done
And my blood is drained away
I drown in all the lies I lived the lives I gave today
When the night moves in
And the other falls asleep
Surrendering to you/don?t want to lie don?t want to hold it in

Why can?t we just be ourselves?
So many lives to throw before the wind
Why can?t we just be ourselves?
So many lies to throw before the wind
