Lyrics

I read my life on the black list
a rebel, a non-conformist
trusted myself too much to survive
our painful journey far and wide
trying hard to move on to arrive alive
for the last cigar, at the last bar
our spring was love, our summer lost
in senseless fights what ever it cost
but that’s our November to say that we
remember how it used to be
Now we’re just drowning instead of diving in
in this river of tears we’re crying
I am because you are
life is many
I am because weare
with skies so heavy
We’re running against the wind
but time steals everything
together we learned to survive
trying hard to arrive alive
I’m because you are
I am because
of who we are
I am because you are
we are who we are
I am because
of who we are
We are, who we are
I am because of who we are
We’ve been through too much life
with songs out of tune, and out rhyme
we’ve missed the door on the wall of time
with broken wings, and broken hearts
slowly,painfully picking us apart
under the madness of our jealous sky
Selling each other high expectations,
no one is buyin’ our lie
no tread on the tires of our car
Gone the long way
to the last bar
to smoke that last cigar
I am because you are
life is many
I am because we are
with skies so heavy
We’re running against the wind
but time steals everything
together we learned to survive
trying hard to arrive alive
I’m because you are
I am because
of who we are
Weare who we are
I am because
of who we are
Trying hard to move on to arrive alive
I am because
we are who we are
till the last cigar after the last bar
I am because
we are
