This Is All Now Lyrics
Taking Back Sunday
Lyrics
So now I am owed this,
One self indulgent tirade
Hollow attempt to
To sell my point of view
Yeah I know what’s rotting beneath your best intentions
At the heart of your convictions
Sits a broken man that needs to understand
I am owed this now
I am owed this now
I am owed this now
This is all I ever asked from you
The only thing you couldn’t do
Tell me the whole truth
You don’t know yourself
How could I know you
I will not be moved until you tell me the whole truth
I know you mean well with your ancient code of ethics
Lead by example
Could you imagine Christ hitting a child?
You live in a shelter built from your own truth
There’s so many things you
You don’t want me
You don’t want me to know
I am owed this now
I am owed this now
I am owed this now
This is all I ever asked of you
The only thing you couldn’t do
Tell me the whole truth
You don’t know yourself
How could I know you?
I will not be moved until you tell me the whole truth.
Next time you’re standing on that stage
(You're lying to yourself, You're lying to yourself)
Selling your cold hollow faith
(You're still a liar to me, You're still a liar to me)
Next time you’re standing on that stage
(Repent, Repent)
Selling your cold hollow faith remember
This is all I ever asked from you
The only thing you couldn’t do
Tell me the whole truth
You don’t know yourself
How could I know you
I will not be moved until you tell me the whole truth
The only thing I asked from you
The only thing you couldn’t do
Tell me the whole truth
I will not be be moved
I will not be moved
I am owed this now
Tell me the whole truth.
