The Way I Tend To Be (Songbook Version)

The Way I Tend To Be (Songbook Version) - Frank Turner

Written by：Frank Turner

Some mornings I pray for evening

For the day to be done

Some summer days I hide away

And wait for rain to come

'Cause it turns out hell will not be found

Within the fires below

But in making do and muddling through

When you've nowhere else to go

But then I remember you

And the way you shine like truth in all you do

And if you remembered me

You could save me from the way I tend to be

The way I tend to be

Some days I wake up dazed my dear

And don't know where I am

I've been running now so long I'm scared

I've forgotten how to stand

And I stand alone in airport bars

And gather thoughts to think

That if all I had was one long road

It could drive a man to drink

But then I remember you

And the way you shine like truth in all you do

And if you remembered me

You could save me from the way I tend to be

Because I've said I love you so many times

That the words kinda die in my mouth

And I meant it each time with each beautiful

But it's somehow it never works out

You stood apart in my calloused heart

And you taught me and here's what I learned

That love is about all the changes you make

And not just three small words

And I catch myself

Catching your scent on someone else

In a crowded space

And it takes me somewhere I can not quite place

But then I remember you

And the way you shine like truth in all you do

And if you remembered me

You could save me from the way I tend to be

The way I tend to be

The way I tend to be

The way I tend to be
