lyrics

Lately everyone I meet has been a soldier
But no one can seem to tell me about the war
They all bear their sleeves and tell me there are scars there
But it's nothing that I haven't seen before
We're all distant looks and songs that say I'm lonely
Borrowed from someone you hope I've never heard
But I look around and wonder how can that be
If everyone knows every chord and every verse
Did you never wonder

Am I more than what I've been
Or is there something we've missed
Am I alright with nothing changing
Am I alright with staying just like this

And anyone that's been wounded can tell you
That you pick at scars to bleed and bleed again
And healing fast is really over rated
That in pain is where you really want to live
Did you never wonder

Am I more than what I've been
Or is there something we've missed
Am I alright with nothing changing
Am I alright with staying just like this

'Cause we get it wrong if there ever was a reason
We are more than the people we miss
Moving on is not some kind of treason
It's just the answer to a question just like this

Am I more than what I've been
Or is there something we've missed
Am I alright with nothing changing
Am I alright with staying just like this

Am I more than what I've been
Or is there something we missed
Am I alright with nothing changing
Am I alright with staying just like this
