Favorite Song Lyrics - Part 3: The Gaslight Anthem: Too much blood

Heute ist endlich mal wieder Zeit für Lyrics. Diesmal habe The Gaslight Anthem für euch ausgegraben, die ich schon länger nicht mehr gehört habe.

Einer meiner absoluten Lieblingssongs aus dem 2012er Album “Handwritten” ist “Too much blood”. Ein großartiger Song einer tollen Band, die leider aktuell nichts mehr zusammen macht. Sehr schade!

Too much blood

Are you scared this sounds familiar?

What if anybody knew the very trials and temptations

That we put ourselves through?

Now I am no angel but I’ve got nothing to hide.

Can you say the same thing for yourself tonight?

What can I keep for myself if I tell you my hell?

What would be left to take to my grave?

And what’s left for you, my lover, to save?

What’s left for only you to take?

If I put too much blood on the page…

If I put too much blood on the page…

And if I just tell the truth are there only lies left for you.

If I put too much love on the page?

And as my eternal witness to the pride and the shame.

Are you worried I’ll say to much?

Are you scared they’ll take me away?

Now I am no devil but I’ve got things on my mind.

And they’re gonna come out and they’re gonna come up time to time.

What can I keep for myself if I tell you my hell?

What would be left to take to my grave?

And what’s left for you, my lover, to save?

What’s left for only you to take?

If I put too much blood on the page…

If I put too much blood on the page…

And if I just tell the truth are there only lies left for you.

If I put too much blood on the page.
