ROCCO DELUCA & THE BURDEN LYRICS - When You Learn To Sing

"When You Learn To Sing"



A father can give you his words

But words are just symbols for things.

And after he's gone

That's when you learn to sing.



A mother can give you her breast

But soon that's all she'll bring.

And when she's left

That's when you learn to sing.



People live this life.

I know we lie and deceive.

It's learned that I'm blind.

I just wanted

To believe.



And when your love grabs your arm

And whispers the sweetest of lies

And all those around you, they wonder

How can you've been surprised.

It's written in her eyes

That hope is a dangerous thing.

Nightingale, you stagger and fail

Is that how you've learned how to sing?



People live this life.

I know you lie and deceive.

I'm not so blind.

I just wanted...



People live the world.

I know you hurt and deceive.

I'm not so blind.

I just wanted

And I want, and I want

To believe.



And I want to believe. [x7]

And I just wanted...
