Hozier - Who We Are

You only feel it when it's lost Gettin' through still has a cost Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love Falling from you, drop by drop What I had left here, I just held it tight So someone with your eyes Might come in time to hold me like water Or Christ, hold me like a knife We're born at night, so much of our life Is just carvin' through the dark To get so far, and the hardest part Is who we are, it's who we are You and I burned out our steam Chasing someone else's dream How can somethin' be so much heavier But so much less than what it seems? Darling, we sacrificed We gave our time to somethin' undefined This phantom life sharpens like an image But it sharpens like a knife We're born at night, so much of our life Is just carvin' through the dark To get so far, and the hardest part Is who we are, it's who we are Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah You only feel it when it's lost Gettin' through still has its cost Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love Fallin' from you, drop by drop
