Song; Red - Who We Are
[We were the ones who weren't afraid
We were the broken hearted
We were the scars that wouldn't fade away
How did we let go
how did we forget that we don't have to hide
We won't believe the lies again
We won't be paralyzed]
There was a line we drew,
In The sand,
But it kept washing away,
And no water existed,
Back then,
It was so simple,
So clean,
We were the children,
But we were flying towards,
Adulthood,
You promised me you'd always be there,
Even when you grew up,
Now you're grown up,
And I don't know why,
And I don't know how,
But I know you're scaring me,
For I am still a child,
Eliminating a problem,
Can take many,
Can take so many,
But there's only me,
To solve my problems,
And solve yours,
Because you're not even here anymore,
And yet you've left me with a strange,
Strange mystery I can't,
I can't figure out.
[We were the ones who weren't afraid
We were the broken hearted
We were the scars that wouldn't fade away
How did we let go
how did we forget that we don't have to hide
We won't believe the lies again
We won't be paralyzed]
I broke,
I bent,
I decided enough was enough,
And time and distance separate us now,
But can I keep going now?
Now you've done this strange thing to me,
Making me feel powerless when,
In reality,
I am the weak-hearted,
Broken,
Uncharted,
Easy to figure out,
Hard to explain,
Understand,
Or care about.
[We were the tears that passion cried
We were the sacrifice
We were the flame that wouldn't die inside
How did we go wrong
We will not forget
We will not be left behind
We won't give up the fight again
We won't be denied]
I tried so hard to tell you that I wasn't ready,
That I didn't want this,
But you wanted it,
And told me you would be bliss,
But that ended,
With lies,
Passionate lies,
[We were the stars that wouldn't fade away].
And then you told me,
Told me more lies,
To patronize?
I can't figure people out,
But I can tell,
I can tell the emotions,
They're read plainly,
With no hint of derision inside,
And that's where you've always failed.
You've always thought nothing of me,
Besides not knowing what to think,
What ot say,
Or too much to say,
So much that the words,
Powerful as a storm,
Slapped against my thoughts,
Breaking them,
Bringing me back to reality.
I'm not sure how,
Why, or what,
Made me feel like this.
[We were the tears that passion cried
We were the sacrifice
We were the flame that wouldn't die inside
How did we go wrong
We will not forget
We will not be left behind
We won't give up the fight again
We won't be denied]
But I'm still somehow alive,
Crawling out of the hole you dug for me,
I'm halfway to not needing,
Not needing him anymore,
Not heeding his words anymore,
And taking myself away forever.
