Snow Patrol - The President lyrics

rate me

I've run to ground

I've run from everyone that I have ever known

I'm aching cold

I'm aching from the bones the very blood of me

And it's broke before you know it

Before you knew what it was for

All you know is you can't fix it

And you wish you'd listened more

To your instincts to your family

To the wisdom you'd ignored

Are you finally gonna ask us for help?

I've crashed to earth

But I'd fallen for so long that it was just relief

I saw your face

In everyone that looked me in my drunken eyes

And it's broke before you know it

Before you knew what it was for

All you know is you can't fix it

And you wish you'd listened more

To your instincts to your family

To the wisdom you'd ignored

When you finally gonna ask us for help?

I can see you at the front gate

As you wait on my return

The years have blurred to eons

But the tears have never dried

But I'm not coming to you like this

So battered down and sad

I will take the road forgotten again
