Euan - Bought and Paid Lyrics

And all the answers we could give
Never helped before
And all the questions he outlived
(Are) coming back for more

And all the years he'd left to give
Valueless once more
And all the lives he left to live
Come haunting through the door

He asked me if I'd friends at home and I said
"You were the only one."
I asked him if he'd close his eyes and he said
"That wouldn't be much fun."

I guess you never wonder why in the field
I guess you never wonder why
All of the iron lips that are sealed
And the comfort of payment in kind

I've taken both my eyes
Taken my eyes to Rome
I've baptized lies, and I wonder why
I (still) cry at night

Though I know that I've been cold, I've been alone
And I've been true, and I've been old, and I've been you/new
We sold the souls we both outgrew
Never made ourselves anew

Though we never said out loud, we wanted to trails to go cold
Lose our marks deep in the crowds, never do what we were told
Sweep away the lives we knew
We never made ourselves anew

I know you'd agree in the morning
I know you'd believe that I was right
I hope you'll be free in the morning
I hope you'll be free in the light

We can't believe what we
Feel in the breeze (Deceive me)
(But) we can conceive what we
Do to the bereaved
