The Wandering Hearts - Instead of You Lyrics

Oh oh oh

Instead of you

You made me feel I was not enough

And slamming doors was all I’d ever known

Love’s a thing you think you own

As if it mattered when you’re numb

Lost for words but now I see

Muddled thoughts become crystal clear

Fillings days with endless nights

Anything to pass the time instead of you

Instead of you again

Everything was black and blue

Your tears won’t bring me back to you

Anything to see me through

Anything instead of you

I had the answers but I did not cry

You looked at me as if it was a crime

This time the page it turned itself

And standing still just wouldn’t help

Our time was up it didn’t come too soon

I had to speak to speak the truth

The key to us was locked away

An open door was there instead of you

Instead of you again

Trust was always just a mantelpiece

A static picture of the same old thing

Hope was there but somehow it got lost

A sickening symptom of the line we crossed

Crossing out a name inside a book

Wasn’t as simple as it looked

A symbol of a life worth living for

Living a life for me instead of you

Instead of you
