Someone To Lean On
Major Lazer · Other Songs - Major Lazer
I need you god, so won't you please help me now?
These are the only cards that you dealt me out
This is the moment that we won't be held down
Our words are broken, but they're spoken aloud
So come together, come together again
The time is now let Armageddon begin.
They say beginnings always starts with the ends
I say forever and forever amen
-- Johnny 3 Tears --
Forget what you are
Forget what you feel
Stand apart but fall together
Nothing ever lasts forever
(Chorus) -- Danny --
We're born to live
We're born to die
We're forced to swallow these pills
And to never ask why
What have I become?
Why can't you see?
That everybody, everybody, everybody's got this disease
Everybody's got this disease (2x)
-- J-Dog --
Deep in my pain, hang in the gallows
Pass the pain, feeling so hollow
Gun in the shame, deep in the shallow
Not the same, but feeling so hollow
I crashed the train, just to start a revolution
I'm not insane, I just want to be free
It's not the same if it's our execution
Let them all see, you're undead just like me
So I'm to blame, the one to follow
Give it away, got nothing to borrow
Fuck the fame, fuck the sorrow
Live with the day and never tomorrow!
-- Johnny 3 Tears --
Forget what you are
Forget what you feel
Stand apart but fall together
Nothing ever lasts forever
(Chorus) -- Danny --
We're born to live
We're born to die
We're forced to swallow these pills
And to never ask why
What have I become?
Why can't you see?
That everybody, everybody, everybody's got this disease
Everybody's got this disease (2x)
-- Johnny 3 Tears --
I'll try to believe, on my knees it's so hard
And they pick and they pull and they tear you apart
But they won't let me go
No they won't let me go
And I'm dying baby, dying baby, dying so slow
Walk in the world, it's so empty you know
In the land of the beautiful, beauty is cold
And it won't let me go, no they won't let me go
And I'm dying baby, dying baby, dying alone
(Chorus) -- Danny --
We're born to live
We're born to die
We're forced to swallow these pills
And to never ask why
What have I become?
Why can't you see?
That everybody, everybody, everybody's got this disease
Everybody's got this disease (4x)
