Soma (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Soma is what they would take when
Hard times opened their eyes
Saw pain in a new way
High stakes for a few names
Racing against sunbeams
Losing against their dreams

In your eyes

And I am
Stop
And go
In your eyes
See, I am
Stop
And go
In your eyes

Let’s go

When I saw her for the first time
Lips moved as her eyes closed
Heard something in his voice
And, “I’ll be there”
He says
Then he walks out
Somehow he was trying
Too hard to be like them

And I am
Stop
And go
In your eyes
And I am
Stop
Oh, darling, let me go

Tried it once and they like it
And tried to hide it
Says, “I’ve been doing this twenty five years”
Well I’m not listening no more
And these friends they keep asking for more
Oh, yeah
Oh, but that’s it

Soma (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

The only thing I recall is
Those shadows coming my way
Comforting me with their searchlights
To guide me home again
“We will take
We will take
That wretched heart away
And when you come to
You’ll thank us
For the new you we’ve made”

So now I’m left here fading away
Far away
Far away
So now I’m left here fading away
Far away
Far away
From me

So now I wait as they make me
Into someone else
If I believe what they tell me
I’m tired of being myself
Cause they take and the take
A piece of me everyday
“And we will help you belong here
With this new you we’ve made”

If you you can amputate my heart
Then I will learn to smile and then
You can replace me with yourself
And I’ll become the model citizen
And I will tell them all
That I had this breakthrough surgery
They give you a pill
They remove your heart
And replace it with a battery

Soma (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Nothing left to say
And all I’ve left to do
Is run away
From you
And she led me on, down
With secrets I can’t keep

Close your eyes and sleep
Don’t wait up for me
Hush now don’t you speak
To me

Wrapped my hurt in you
And took my shelter in that pain
The opiate of blame
Is your broken heart, your heart

So now I’m all by myself
As I’ve always felt
I’ll betray my tears
To anyone caught in our ruse of fools

One last kiss from me…yeah
One last kiss good night

Didn’t want to lose you once again
Didn’t want to be your friend
Fulfilled a promise made of tin
And crawled back to you

I’m all by myself
As I’ve always felt
I’ll betray myself
To anyone, lost, anyone but you

So let the sadness come again
On that you can depend on me, yeah
Until the bitter, bitter end of the world, yeah
When god sleeps in bliss

And I’m all by myself
As I’ve always felt
And I’ll betray myself
To anyone
