A Rotterdam November - Problematic lyrics

rate me

Telling everybody what they wanna hear

I'm not them, I wanna know the truth and

I'm not them, I wanna know you

Don't be fooled tonight

(don't be fooled)

A bird isn't free when it's in flight

It's chained, chained chained,

By the distance it creates with each wing and

{chorus}

Flying away is problematic

'cause you're not the only one being taken for granted

You search the world for consistency

First place to look is the mirror above your sink

A home isn't subject to sacrifice

And family shouldn't be split twice

You're alone, alone, alone, alone

While you still have one

Please come home

When will you realize that you are loved

It's OK, it's OK to be loved and

I know you never got enough

I know he hurt you

(I know he)

There's not much more

We can do

It's the past, the past, the past,

The thing about the past,

Is it can't last

{bridge}

And how are you feeling

Has anything changed

From last night

I've read all the letters

Fragments and splinters

Of ideas that when brought to life

would only gave me shivers, shivers

Have you read a word you've written?

Have you heard a word I've spoken?

When will all of this sink in?

Why are all your mirrors broken?

(sorry, can't figure this line out)

The moon can't affect the tide

The way you change me with a smile

Tomorrow will be better

I'm betting on the sun

I couldn't imagine a darker morning

Than the one that wakes you

{chorus}
