letra de the lucky ones - benedict cork

Loading...

seven i was quiet
playing dolls in the study
eleven i was caught
in a dress by my daddy
thirteen was ashamed
not the same as the other boys

eighteen i was grown
so i moved to the city
twenty met a boy
fell in love like the movies
then at twenty-three
heart in pieces, and i was lost

heaven don’t feel the same
but heaven knows
i can’t change

my mama still holds me
daddy still calls me son
i’m still here
i’m one of the
lucky ones, the lucky ones
i thought i was a misfit
i was so ovеrcome
when my parents said
wе’re the lucky ones
the lucky ones
now i’m twenty-five
took some time
did some therapy
can’t love someone else
’til i finally love me
i’m ready to be burned
to be hurt
make something real

maybe thirty-one
find the one, start a family
maybe thirty-five
i’ll be home, i’ll be happy
living out the dream
in a big house on the hill

heaven don’t feel the same
but heaven knows
i can’t change

my mama still holds me
daddy still calls me son
i’m still here
i’m one of the
lucky ones, the lucky ones
i thought i was a misfit
i was so overcome
when my parents said
we’re the lucky ones
the lucky ones
still i don’t feel safe
holding hands
in the backseat
see these battle scars
from my youth
they’re what made me
think of all the kids
crossing borders
to fall in love

there’s people throwing stones
breaking bones
for religion
kids with velvet ropes
round their necks
for forgiveness
how are we gonna change
so we don’t lose another one

heaven don’t feel the same no
but heaven knows
i can’t change

my mama still holds me
daddy still calls me son
i’m still here
i’m one of the lucky one
the lucky ones
i thought i was a misfit
i was so overcome
when my parents said
we’re the lucky ones
the lucky ones
