Rea Garvey - God Ugly World Lyrics

Waitin' for the traffic lights
Your skin is cold
But your fists clenched tight
At first we're just strangers
But now I know you well

It's crazy I know
But under your cold
Is a heart beating just like mine
And God only knows
I've felt that cold
I've felt that damp risin' up inside

I don't know your name but
I know who you are
You're like a child who's screaming
"Save me from the dark"

And somebody hold me
Somebody own me
Somebody take away this pain
Somebody hold me
And bring me back to life again
It's a God ugly world
If the tables were turned
Would you have what it takes to survive?
It's a God ugly world
When you're not being heard
And you feel you'll be left there to die
It's a God ugly world

You were once a father, once a mother
Once a sister to someone else's brother
The journey was short
But it took your whole life
You know your own pride
It's crazy I know
But under your cold
There's a heart beating just like mine
And God only knows
I've felt that cold
I've felt that damp risin' up inside

I don't know your name but
I know who you are
You're like a child who's screaming
"Save me from the dark"

Somebody hold me
Somebody own me
Somebody take away this pain
Somebody hold me
And bring me back to life again
It's a God ugly world
If the tables were turned
Would you have what it takes to survive
It's a God ugly world
When you're not being heard
And you feel you'll be left there to die
It's a God ugly world

It's a God ugly world
It's a God ugly world
It's crazy I know
But under your cold
Is that heart beating just like mine
And God only knows
I've felt the cold
I've felt the damp risin' up inside
