Alfred van Luttikhuizen - Me vs. I lyrics

In living lies a familiar treat There's both love and deceit in the ranks of the emperor No one's left out from cleaning the sheets Because we all have wounds so just get up Gear up, fall in I bring it back And the it all comes back to that moment of grief and pain And tears because I do really care And then again I really don't care at all And oh I really do love my enemy's I never had it and I never loved it I was only searching for the right track And I never sang a song for you The song was always about me They told me how to deal with rounds and stripes and letters of grief It's like you said that it would be 'cause it is -'cause it is time I will do better, yeah believe me 'cause it is -'cause it is time Get up and dance, get up and smile Get up and drink to the days that are gone In the shortest while I never gave you the proper goodbye, proper love, proper coffee you deserved I only washed my sheets, yeah I did wash them like I washed My innocence in brown, muddy water I never had it I only had this taste and Thirst for better wine Get up, gear up, fall in! Get up, gear up, fall in! In living lies a familiar treat There's both love and deceit in the ranks of the emperor No one's left out from cleaning the sheets Because we all have wounds so just get up Gear up, fall in It's like you said that it would be 'cause it is -'cause it is time I will do better, yeah believe me 'cause it is -'cause it is time
