Only you Lyrics by Dads

I’ll Be the Tornado

2014

[Verse 1]
Well, I haven’t been practicing what I preach
Well, I haven’t been practicing much of anything anymore
Tried to live a clean life
Lean towards health and making you proud
But I became too focused
On another lingering rain cloud

[Verse 2]
I forgot what sunlight felt like
I almost grabbed for the dirt
I kicked away
I wanted to throw it in my own eyes
Until I forgot the sight
Of how our bodies used to lay

[Bridge]
You, only you, can change yourself
But, lord knows, you were a big fucking help
You, only you, can change yourself
But, lord knows, you were a big fucking help
You, only you, can change yourself
But, lord knows, you were a big fucking help
You, only you, can change yourself
But, lord, oh...
It’s hard to find yourself when you’re more
Drunk than you're sober
When every thought you’ve ever thought is gone
Before the night is over

[Outro]
You made me a liar
In my joyful youth
You sparked a fire
Seen from a mountaintop view
I’m on the ground and
I’m still burning for you, only you
And I’m still learning from you, only you
And I’m still dying for you, only you
And I’m still learning from you, only you
