not like you

it’s not like you
to go on and give up the gun
oh i wouldn’t deny you
knowing it couldn’t be won

we could turn this around
listen and let go and sink down into the ground
is there another way out?
just hasn’t been found

though all i have is yours

i wanna know what it’s like
outside, to believe
there’s nothing there in the dark
despite what you see

i know that you don’t believe it
but you’re not like me

oh lately
i’ve been seeing things all differently
oh lately
no longer missing out on everything

and it all takes on an ordinary view
some people live as if there’s nothing left to lose
that’s what i choose
that’s what i’ll do

i’m not afraid anymore
of this light you can’t see
looking back at what was
from outside memory

i know that you can’t see it
cos you’re not like me
oh i know that you don’t believe it
you’re not like me
