Lyrics
We Are What You Say
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You gotta sink to learn to swim
These are the rules that they teach and they want you to live
Apologies will never do and I know that way too well
Brought down by somebody else's lack of education
Shouldn't be you that it hurts
But I took all the advice that I could take
Before I thought to give up
I bet you thought I'd give up
And this is what they told me
These are the lies you gotta believe
They'll give you everything to lose if you disagree
Apologies are over used and I'd be cutting the line way too thin
I'm aware of this bitter behavior
I lost myself somewhere I never wanted to be
Now it's time to start all over
We were held to the light
But we never went blind
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You can't back down, kid
Back down, kid
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You can't back out now
Back out now
We are what you say
We are not what you think
Too lonely to survive the loss that was staring back with bloodshot eyes
I almost fell below the ground that I was standing on
Oh no, you said it yourself, you're disappointed
And I'm ashamed and embarrassed to say that
I was a failure, a failure
But not matter how low
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You can't back down, kid
Back down, kid
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You can't back out now
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You can't back down, kid
Back down, kid
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You can't back out now
Back out now
We are what you say
