The Joy You Felt Was Real - nest.acoustics

I watch you fall I promise you nothin' so I'll take it all I don't play the fool, sleight of hand I never believed, I know that you'll understand You'll understand I'm on my way home I left you there waitin' There's no way, no We'll just get messed up again And all the walls are comin' down, I know So just before you're needing more I'll go Did I say too much? Thought I'd never feel But now it's come so clear Why'd you bring me here? Hard to feel I don't belong, but know that something was real Something was real I'm on my way home I left you there waitin' There's no way, no We'll just get messed up again And all the walls are comin' down, I know So just before you're needing more I'll go

Little man was hungry They saw him as a tramp With a love note in his pocket, But no money for a stamp, He just sits there in the doorway And he sings his lonely song, Mumbling the cold out of his hands, Watching the shadows weave and dance, Smiling, but in his eyes the chances are gone He was me, He was you, Maybe someone that you knew, There goes everybody's brother, What's his name? Walk on by, Pay no mind, Heartbreaks happen all the time Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain The painter tries to paint him, And the poet, he tries to see, I think he had a castle, In the man he used to be, He just stuck to us a question, Can you tell me what you've learned? "Nobody knows the truth," he said, "Not till the book has all been read, Follow the one you love instead of the road." He was me, He was you, Maybe someone that you knew, There goes everybody's brother, What's his name? Walk on by, Pay no mind, Heartbreaks happen all the time Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain He was me, He was you, Maybe someone that you knew, There goes everybody's brother, What's his name? Walk on by, Pay no mind, Heartbreaks happen all the time Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain Ain't it cold enough today, let it rain Ain't it cold enough today, So let it rain
