Matt Simons – With you Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong
And I wanted to die
That’s when …
[Verse 1]
Got some money, got some cash
I’m rich and now I’m sad
And I wonder if I’m sad about the money that I have
Got some boats on my plane
At the hotel …
[Intro]
Yeah
Polishin’ a goddamn sword, you know what I’m sayin’?
Polishin’ a sword (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
Concrete Family, Concrete Industries, Concrete Boys up, always, never down
(And this beat from Cash, not from …
When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On …
I gave you all of me
But it still ain’t enough to make you happy1
I gave you everything
It still don’t measure up2
It feels like I walked 5 thousand miles
And didn’t even come close
Feels like I try to make you smile
But you don’t even care, no3
I’ll never be big enough to pay your dues
But I keep trying4
And you just keep on making me jump through hoops
What do I got to do?5
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be worth your love6
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough
Good enough7
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough
Good enough
I try to show you that I’m strong
Why do I even bother?8
Cause it’s the same old damn song9
And you call yourself a father10
Feels like I’m reaching for the stars
But heaven isn’t letting me
I wish that I had longer arms
But I know that will never be never be11
I’ll never be big enough to pay your dues
But I keep trying
And you just keep on making me jump through hoops
What do I got to do?
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be worth your love
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough
Good enough
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough
Good enough
Look at me
I’m standing right here waiting for you, here I am
Look at me
Lookin’ for your acceptance, do you give a damn?12
Look at me
See it doesn’t matter what you think, I’m still a man
Look at me
Open up your eyes, can’t you see that I’m good enough13
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be worth your love
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough
Good enough
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough
Good enough14
