Biffy Clyro
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I smoke my face in, night after night To numb the pain and stop the world spinning round and round But how was I to know that in my mind I'm not so pure? Look into my eyes, you can see I'm many different people You shone a light on my life, now I'm just sentimental You shone a light on my life, now I'm just sentimental I'm not a drinker, I try it every night I force it down to throw it up and start all over again But I will climb a tower just to stick my flag on top And look down on everyone, help me to salute the people You shone a light on my life, now I'm just sentimental You shone a light on my life, now I'm just sentimental You shone a light on my life, now I'm just sentimental You shone a light on my life, now I'm just sentimental You have tried to resist the pain but you know you're not alone But you know you're not alone I have tried to resist the pain but now I'm all alone And now I'm all alone You shone a light on my life, now I'm just sentimental You shone a light on my life, now I'm just sentimental You shone a light on my life, now I'm just sentimental You shone a light on my life, now I'm just sentimental
