The Mine lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, I etched my own name in the mountain
But I lost all my nails to the fight
If you would let me explain, I have aged and I'm frightened
By the sound of my thoughts in the night

[Chorus]
Oh God, I swear it, I hold myself to ransom
And can't afford the fee
I gave away my eyelids
And all I can do now is see

[Verse 2]
Oh, I sold you a song to feel human
But it made a great hole in my chest
If you would let me explain, I'm insane, unenlightened
And too god damn tired to protest

[Chorus]
Oh God, the lifetime I spent on writing love songs
To people I've ignored
I'vе looked for love in strangers
I am safе, I am fine, I'm adored

[Outro]
They love me
They love me
They love me
They love me
They love me
They love me
I know
