Man Down

The Eden Project

Seeing you was so bittersweet I almost died
My heart jumped but my head kept screaming why?
And I almost thought that I could change the past

And I almost, but that never really lasts.
Oh And I'm shot.
Oh baby I'm shot.
But I'm not.
Whatever you wanted.
Forever just wanting.

You.

And I hope you notice.
And could come around.
'Cos I always blow it.
And run it into the ground.
And silence keeps me frozen.
And you won't make a sound.
So I hope you notice.
Screaming man down.

And I'll only say this one time.
Your headlines won't get none of my time.
Yeah I'm lying.
'Cos I still can't find out.
Why I'm so divided.
Replay those few days over.
Somehow I'll find it.
Somewhere in your words.
When you leant on my shoulder.
I might act distant but I swear that it's not over.
I don't want to hear it.
But I gotta know, yeah I just gotta know.
Is there a reason, do you care if I'm still breathing.
Or am I insane?
For thinking we could've made it.
Oh baby we could've made it.

Oh baby I'm shot.
But I'm not.
Whatever you wanted.
Forever just wanting.

You.

But you'll never know it
'Cos I'm just way too proud
Hide behind my ego
Block the whole world out
And these words they don't come easy
And they don't come loud
So you'll never know it
Screaming man down

I just saw God
I just saw God
Outside the liquor store
You told me
I was lost
I lost
