How Many Does It Take Lyrics by George Perris

Who I’m Meant to Be

2019

Walks in with his gaze set on his habit
Every day he’s got to have it
Doesn't notice where I am
As he puts a bottle on the table
Can't resist but says he's able
And I try to understand
How he lost himself right at here at home
Why does he think he's not enough?
He's not enough
How many does it take
To feel nothing at all
How many does it take
Till there’s nothing to recall
How many does it take
Till the anger’s washed away
And you can’t control the ache
How many, how many does it take
He tries to make amends with what’s inside him
Every time I see him fighting
Never stops but he says he can
As he falls apart he says he’s sorry
Keeps on damaging his body
And now I understand
How he lost himself right at here at home
Why does he think he's not enough?
He's not enough
How many does it take
To feel nothing at all
How many does it take
Till there’s nothing to recall
How many does it take
Till the anger’s washed away
And you can’t control the ache
How many, how many does it take
As his troubled thoughts begin to taunt him
And his words come back to haunt him
It takes him piece by piece
So he knows there’s no way that he can hide it
There’s an answer he can’t find yet
Something’s lost but nothing’s gained
