Everybody Wins But You

from Dropped City by That Dream Was Our Life

/

lyrics

Topknots & beards are all right for some
You say that you could never be that dumb
Celebrate all you've overcome
Sour grapes for all that you can't outrun

When the light hits your hair just so
There's a certain kind of way you glow
Baby you don't even know
The hate that penetrates your soul
If you think possession is the only way to find the truth
It's never gonna see you through

Everybody wins but you
Someone always takes the chance that's yours
When you think you've given all that you can give
They'll find a way to steal a little more

When the sun hits your face just so
There's a certain kind of way you glow
Baby you don't even know
The weight you carry in your soul
If you think possession is the only way to find the truth
It's never gonna see you through

In the big reveal of your fatal flaw
Even your tears are fake
Empty sobs & a hollow heart
In the lies you live & the love you make

When the sun hits your face just so
There's a certain kind of way you glow
Baby you don't even know
The weight you carry in your soul
If you think that desire & possession are the only ways to the truth
It's never gonna see you through
