The Enemy
Mumford And Sons · Other Songs - Mumford And Sons
It's easier, it's kinder,
Tell me not of heartbreak,
It plagues my soul, it plagues my soul.
We will meet back on this road,
Nothing gained, truth be told,
But I'm not the enemy,
It isn't me, the enemy.
But I came and I was nothing,
And time will give us nothing
So why did you choose to lean on,
A man you knew was falling?
Give me hope in silence,
It's easier, it's kinder,
Tell me not of heart brake,
It plagues my soul, it plagues my soul.
And bury me beside you,
I have no hope in solitude,
And the world will follow,
To the earth down below
But I came and I was nothing,
And time will give us nothing
So why did you choose to lean on,
A man you knew was falling.
