Tigers And Sharks
You Me At Six · Take Of Your Colours [2008]
Did you mean them? Did you now?
You're biting at the hand that feeds you,
Like a stray for some scraps.
And everybody you once knew has turned their backs.
And everyone you once loved has sold you out.
And everyone I know,
They faked it from the word go
And I need to know why,
That everyone I love,
Has been swimming with the sharks
And I don't know why.
Does defeat leave a taste in your mouth?
One that you could live without?
And Everyone you once knew has turned their backs.
And everyone that you once loved has sold you out.
And everyone I know,
They faked it from the word go
And I need to know why,
That everyone I love
Has been swimming with the sharks
And I don't know why.
So, How does it feel?
How does it feel?
How do you?
How do you?
So does it feel?
How does it feel?
How do you
How do you?
How does it feel?
How does it feel too... too you?
