The Way We Live Lyrics by Painting Promises

Holding on to Who We Were

2017

[Verse 1]
Don't know where I'm going
But I can't forget where I have been
I've been chasing ghosts
But I'll never know what they want from me
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel their breath
They disappear before I hear
What they're trying to tell me
[Chorus]
Looking for a reason
Trying to find my way back home
Why do I still dream of you
When I'm better on my own?
Looking for a reason
Trying to find my way back home
Why do I still dream of you
When I'm better on my own?
[Verse 2]
Who will save me me
When I'm underneath these clouds again?
Losing myself in the same routine
Always chasing ghosts
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel their breath
They disappear before I hear
What they're trying to tell me
[Chorus]
Looking for a reason
Trying to find my way back home
Why do I still dream of you
When I'm better on my own?
Looking for a reason
Trying to find my way back home
Why do I still dream of you
When I'm better on my own?
[Bridge]
I know it's hard to understand
But you should know, you should know
There's no changing who I am
Where are they now?
Who will lift this weight from me?
Voices, they call, but I have no company
[Chorus]
Looking for a reason
Trying to find my way back home
Why do I still dream of you
When I'm better on my own?
[Outro Chorus]
Looking for a reason
Trying to find my way back home
In the end we just pretend
We're alive the way we live
