The President Lyrics - Fallen Empires - Snow Patrol

I've run to ground 

I've run from everyone that I have ever known 

I'm aching cold 

I'm aching from the bones the very blood of me 

And it's broke before you know it 

Before you knew what it was for 

All you know is you can't fix it 

And you wish you'd listened more 

To your instincts to your family 

To the wisdom you'd ignored 

Are you finally gonna ask us for help?

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I've crashed to earth 

But I'd fallen for so long that it was just relief 

I saw your face 

In everyone that looked me in my drunken eyes 

And it's broke before you know it 

Before you knew what it was for 

All you know is you can't fix it 

And you wish you'd listened more 

To your instincts to your family 

To the wisdom you'd ignored 

When you finally gonna ask us for help? 

I can see you at the front gate 

As you wait on my return 

The years have blurred to eons 

But the tears have never dried 

But I'm not coming to you like this 

So battered down and sad 

I will take the road forgotten again
