Ellie Goulding - Some Nights lyrics

rate me

Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck

Some nights I call it a draw

Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle

Some nights I wish they'd just fall off

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost

Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh

What do I stand for? What do I stand for?

Most nights, I don't know

So come on (come on)

So come on (come on)

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh

This is it, boys, this is war

What are we waiting for?

Why don't we break the rules already?

I was never one to believe the hype

Save that for the black and white

I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,

But here they come again to jack my style

And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight

She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am

Oh, who am I? Who am I? Mmm who am I?

Well, some nights I wish that this all would end

Cause I could use some friends for a change

And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again

Some nights, I always win, I always win...

But I still wake up and I still see your ghost

Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh

(Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh)

What do I stand for? What do I stand for?

Most nights, I don't know...

My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"

When I look into my nephew's eyes

Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from

That can come from some terrible lies...ahhh...

Some terrible lies

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh

It's for the best you didn't listen

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh

It's for the best you didn't listen

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh

It's for the best we get our distance
