lyrics

You got the life you wanted, I got the life soaked in grey
You got the girl you wanted, I watched you slowly walk away

I see faces, faces, everywhere
But not a drop, not a drop, not a drop

Already five in the morning, and this city’s up to no good
Don’t want to see you, but everything in me says I should
I’m tired of playing a cameo in my own life
These uncertainties are eating me alive

I see faces, faces, everywhere
But not a drop, not a drop, not a drop
I see faces, faces, everywhere
But not a drop, not a drop, not a drop

Who was I to think we were strong enough to make a stand
We’ve nothing to show for the night but stamp-covered hands
Who was I to think you were strong enough to make a stand
You’ve nothing to show for the night but stamp-covered hands

You got the life you wanted, I got the life soaked in grey
You got the girl you wanted, I watched you slowly walk away

I see faces, faces, everywhere
But not a drop, not a drop, not a drop
I see faces, faces, everywhere
But not a drop, not a drop, not a drop
