When We Were Lyrics by Sleepwar

When We Were

2018

VERSE
I know how you feel
You’re Feeling dead and broken
You cannot breathe you’re choking

I know how you deal
The drugs that you have chosen
You’re deaf, you’re done, you’re coping

CHORUS
We’re healing
Though we look for meaning
We’re dealing and it’s so demeaning
To the ones we love, the ones we fight
Our hearts to mend they break & they do not bend
They break and they do not bend!!

VERSE
I know how you feel
You’re feeling so heartbroken
You cannot express the unspoken
I know how you deal
The love that you’re transposing
My heart is now foreclosing

CHORUS
We’re healing
Though we look for meaning
We’re dealing and it’s so demeaning
To the ones we love, the ones we fight
Our hearts to mend they break and they do not bend

OUTRO
For the ones that we still do love
For the ones that we still do fight
The ones that we still do love
The ones that we still do fight
Wake up
Wake up
