What I've Come to Know

from Sad Old Songs by Arran Fagan

/

lyrics

Tell me I’m leaving as a lover, for that feeling I do know
It will hit me in my chest, and I’ll know it for the best
To have had the chance to know

And call me before the dawn is breaking
If you think t’was mistake
For when that light shines through, Ill have already left you
Down the next road I will take

And you’ll gather round the prophets, which you hold true
The ones who comfort you at night
And what you’ll come to know, they are human and they’ll grow
Same as I

And they’ll croon you softly back to sleep now
Let the needle take its course
When the records at its end, your mind will faintly spin
Voice of past, hate, love, remorse

And you’ll curse me, just as I have cursed at you
We follow patterned routine
But what has come of this? A hypocritics kiss
We fall far from what we mean

Here in this frame where I have left you
Here you’ll stay inside my mind
For I will never know, what is going on below
We aren’t living the same life

And friend, if I can call you a friend
For I’ve treated you unkind
But you broke my heart and I need a new start
And far away I did find
My memories erased and this song here shall replace
It still plays from time to time
What I’ve come to know is you are human and you’ll grow
All in due time
I forget you’re the same as I
