Civil Wars

Lyrics for Civil Wars

I remember your face in the mirror I remember the look in your eyes The subtlety of your secrets and whispers Telling me that I'm something I'm not All the silly games you play and walk away with nothing to show Shed the skin wherever we go "Pull yourself together once again or else" is all that she wrote Your hands behind, we'll take it slow The wars we wage inside our heads The lies we can't escape We tasted fear in younger years And buried our mistakes The weaker ones are left behind The wounded good as dead So tell me who you think you are We'll handle this like men Yeah! You think you're talking, put your money where your mouth is You don't fight, have to fight, I watch you carry on The fight is here and it is more then you had bargained for Run away, run away It's what you really want The wars we wage inside our heads The lies we can't escape We tasted fear in younger years And buried our mistakes The weaker ones are left behind The wounded good as dead So tell me who you think you are We'll handle this like men We've all got civil wars We've all got civil wars We've all got civil wars We've all got civil wars We fell on black days once again And still you crawl under my skin There is no rest, you're always there You're always there You're always there
