When You Learn To Sing Lyrics - Mercy - Rocco Deluca & Burden

The 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 

And people live this life 

I know we lie and deceive 

It's not that I'm blind 

I just want to believe 

And when your love grabs your arm 

And whispers the sweetest of lies 

And all those around you, they wonder 

How come 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? 

And people live this life 

I know you lie and deceive 

And I'm not so blind 

I just wanted 

And people live the world 

I know you hurt and deceive 

And I'm not so blind 

I just wanted, and I want, and I want 

To believe 

And I want to believe, and I want to believe 

And I want to believe, and I want to believe 

And I want to believe, and I want to believe 

And I want to believe 

I just wanted
