We Were
Luke Cutforth Lyrics

That's the name of the game
This is how the situation is, this is the reality

We're placing the shame
We're attributing blame

And you are to blame
You're responsible for the situation

Through all of your fame and acclaim
Despite the recognition you've received

You're nothing
You don't deserve the respect you've gotten

Found
Caught and held accountable for actions

Hunt me down
Chase me and bring me to justice

Take me round
Take me on a journey through different experiences

Out of town going down
Leaving the familiar and comfortable, heading towards something negative

Take a breath
Pause to relax and gather oneself

On the floor
In a vulnerable or defeated position

Like before
As it was in the past

Washed ashore so early
Feeling alone and isolated in a difficult situation

Where did we go, where have we been.
Reflecting on the past and current situation

When all along we should have been fighting.
We should have been taking action to change the situation instead of accepting it

For what he had, what we were, what we could have been last night.
Thinking about what could have been different if things had been done differently

But I'll never know Where we'd ever go If you'd ever shown to invite me
Wondering what might have happened if given the opportunity to participate

And I'll never ever see What we'd ever ever be Cus I'll never ever Ever be free
Feeling trapped in the current situation with no hope for change

Stop
Cease actions

With your game
With your plan

Push your name
Promote your image and reputation

For the fortune and fame
For the money and status

Push yourself
Improve and challenge yourself

Not your belt
Not just your appearance or material belongings

How you felt
Your emotional well-being is also important

Is all clear to me
I understand your motives and desires

Take away my heart
Leave me feeling empty and uncaring

Take away my soul
Leave me feeling lost and disconnected

Take away the money
Strip away the material things that seem to matter most

After everything you stole
After taking what wasn't rightfully yours

Take away my trust
Make it difficult for me to trust others

Then I trust you all the same
I'll still trust you despite everything you've done

Then leave me in the corner
Abandon me in a vulnerable position

With your money and your fame
With the things you cared about the most

So I'll jump upon your heart
I'll take control of what you cared about

And sit upon your soul
I'll claim your essence and being

And redirect your money
I'll use your resources for my own purposes

Then I'll play them at your game
I'll beat you at your own game

And they'll trust me all the same
Others will trust me as they trusted you

And I'll end up here with everything
I'll end up in control of everything you cared about

Your money and your fame.
The things you valued most

And you'll pretend your happy
You'll try to pretend that everything is okay

Because people know your name
Because of your reputation and status

But there's noone knows my face
Others don't recognize my presence or worth

And there's no one knows my name
No one cares about me or my identity

But I'll be sitting in your mind
I'll still be present in your thoughts and memories

And you will keep on crying because noone knows your name
You'll feel unfulfilled despite your fame and recognition

When the start of all your dismay was the money and the fame
The source of your problems was the things you cared about most

And the night you slept with djs and said no one was to blame
A moment of reckoning when mistakes were made

And I was sat here alone thinking existence was a shame
Feeling lost and hopeless

Where did we go, where have we been.
Reflecting on the past and current situation

When all along we should have been fighting.
We should have been taking action to change the situation instead of accepting it

For what he had, what we were, what we could have been last night.
Thinking about what could have been different if things had been done differently

But I'll never know Where we'd ever go If you'd ever shown to invite me
Wondering what might have happened if given the opportunity to participate

And I'll never ever see What we'd ever ever be Cus I'll never ever Ever be free
Feeling trapped in the current situation with no hope for change
