Double Lyrics

Fifteen years ago

I made a decision

Like any other before

There was no wishing

Just a conscious effort

To be a good man

Only one of those I carried forward

I do what I can

Well it's not good enough

And it never was

Just a lot of fluff

And no reason, just because

The trail ran cold

When you severed all ties

With friends new and old

Who had told little lies

Who knows if you get to lead a double life

Who knows if you get to lead a double life

I'm a peacock

With my plumes gone grey

A flightless bird walking

Past my heyday

A kind word that hits you

Right in the gut

When everything you knew

Is flipped downside up

Who knows if you get to lead a double life

Who knows if you get to lead a double life

Shocking I know

That I forgot all the reasons

You finally let go

Of the memories that displeased you

And if you threw out

The baby with the dirty water

Maybe you knew about

The hurting for longer
