Who We Are Lyrics – Hozier
You only feel it when it’s lost
Gettin’ through still has it’s cost
Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
Fallin’ from you, drop a drop
What I had left you
I just held you tight
So someone with your eyes
Might come in time
To hold me like water
Or Christ, hold me like an angel
We’re born at night
So much of our life
Is just carving through the dark
To get so far
And the hardest part
Is who we are
That’s who we are
You and I burned out our steam
Chasing someone else’s dream
How can something be so much heavier
But so much lighter than what it seems?
Darling, we sacrificed
We gave our time to something 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 carving through the dark
To get so far
And the hardest part
Is who we are
That’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 it’s cost
Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
Fallin’ from you, drop a drop
