A Thousand Feet Lyrics by Naomi King

Let My City Burn

2016

You're only nice when you’ve gone numb
You're only kind when the bitter taste has come to play
But that don't last so long
And in a heartbeat you are back to living hate

And you think there’s something wrong with me
When I react to you being mean
Well, I think there's something you should see
You should see

[Chorus]
I'm missing the man you showed to me
When you didn't have your guns ready
When you didn't have a thousand feet
Of walls around you, of walls around you

You only lie with me in bed
You wrap your arms around me and you kiss my head
But when it fades away
You're back to silence and I can't do this again

And you say there's something wrong with me
When I react to you being mean
Well, I wish that you could somehow see
Baby, please

[Chorus]

Say it to me once again
You promise that you’ll be my friend forever
But when the white high ends
You’re always changing, stormy skies're the weather

Say it to me once again
Here, as I lie, I’m in your arms, together
But when the morning comes
You're gone and I am left with hopes of never, yeah

[Chorus][x2]
