Rocco Deluca and The Burden - When You Learn To Sing lyrics

The father can give you his words But words are just symbols for things And after he's gone That's when you learn to sing A mother can give you her breast But soon that's all she'll bring And when she's left That's when you learn to sing And people live this life I know we lie and deceive It's not that I'm blind I just want to believe And when your love grabs your arm And whispers the sweetest of lies And all those around you, they wonder How come you've been surprised? It's written in her eyes That hope is a dangerous thing Nightingale, you stagger and fail Is that how you've learned how to sing? And people live this life I know you lie and deceive And I'm not so blind I just wanted And people live the world I know you hurt and deceive And I'm not so blind I just wanted, and I want, and I want To believe And I want to believe, and I want to believe And I want to believe, and I want to believe And I want to believe, and I want to believe And I want to believe I just wanted
