ettrick shepherd - boo radley lyrics
[chorus]
if you were me and you felt all my sadness and pain
you would act and behave exactly the same
i think people have an image of me
but it’s misunderstanding that’s shattered the frame
if you were me, you too would feel trapped in a maze
with all these demons that you haven’t escaped
if you had gone through what i did back in the day
then you’d act and behave exactly the same
[verse 1]
i used to be quick to judge
it was a problem i tried fixin’ up
but my negative habits just didn’t budge
couldn’t fight them, i was just a sitting duck
i had to learn that everybody knows trouble
and everybody’s dealing with their own struggles
how can we expect anyone to know who we are
when we stay trapped inside our own bubbles?
no one who sees you know what you’ve been through
or know what you’ve come from or know what you’ve seen too
you can’t be expected act like
somebody else who hasn’t lived that life
your worst enemy’s the good guy in his eyes
learn to love them before you start a fist fight
guess it goes to show though
that we as humans live in fear of what we don’t know
[chorus]
if you were me and you felt all my sadness and pain
you would act and behave exactly the same
i think people have an image of me
but it’s misunderstanding that’s shattered the frame
if you were me, you too would feel trapped in a maze
with all these demons that you haven’t escaped
if you had gone through what i did back in the day
then you’d act and behave exactly the same
[verse 2]
you see, judging people is like
watching a saga and skipping the prequel
n0body is just pure evil
at birth everybody is equal
an individual won’t be a bully cos they want to
if you were him then you would be one too
cut through the layers and see beneath
or accept the unknown and leave it be
cos if someone is willing to get to know me
that’s the only way that they’re reaching me
my history is something i mostly regret
and i wish that i could keep it clean
it’s the power of influence
it holds you from the dark or lead you into it
it can bend you, it can change you
it can break you down and rearrange you
i used to be one of those
looking for flaws in other people, on my toes
judging humans i never really got to know
now i’m aware that att-tude has got to go
but if one desert storm hits the rest
of the sh-t will fall apart like dominoes
so don’t ask why i act a bit off
you don’t slightest clue why so p-ss off
[chorus]
if you were me and you felt all my sadness and pain
you would act and behave exactly the same
i think people have an image of me
but it’s misunderstanding that’s shattered the frame
if you were me, you too would feel trapped in a maze
with all these demons that you haven’t escaped
if you had gone through what i did back in the day
then you’d act and behave exactly the same
[verse 3]
i have the desire to run away
cos every f-cking day feels like judgement day
suit up, give the universe your happy face
but really, we all differ in the veins
the things i’ve bounced back from, i’m a miracle
it’s weird though cos i should feel invincible
but even though i’m present in the physical
i perceive myself through others’ eyes as invisible
so i write music
cos while some seem to see right through it
others get to see that unknown that side of me
and that’s why i do it
my soundcloud is my diary so read it
my demons doc-mented website
hopefully, you know everybody has struggles
cos life is impossible to get right
[chorus]
if you were me and you felt all my sadness and pain
you would act and behave exactly the same
i think people have an image of me
but it’s misunderstanding that’s shattered the frame
if you were me, you too would feel trapped in a maze
with all these demons that you haven’t escaped
if you had gone through what i did back in the day
then you’d act and behave exactly the same
