Lyrics Birds of Tokyo

Birds of Tokyo

Designed

All my pride and all my fears

Have been there so long

Funny how you try to change

When you can't say you're wrong

I could have done things better

I wanted to but I'm always too late

Borrowed lines from other guys

To make me sound good

Terrified to be myself

When I know that I should

I could have said things better

I wanted to but I'm always too late

I tried to be the man you need

You know I did my best to give you everything

I gave you every moment

Every dream and all my love

Which I thought was right

I wish you could have loved me the way that I'm designed

I wish you could have seen how hard I had to try

To be somebody else in somebody else's eyes

I wish you could have loved me they way that I'm designed

False starts and lost hearts

They follow me home

Like a dog or a stranger

That I feel sorry for

I could have made things better

I wanted to but I'm always too late

I tried to be the man you need

You know I did my best to give you everything

I gave you every moment

Every dream and all my love

Which I thought was right

I wish you could have loved me they way that I'm designed

I wish you could have seen how hard I had to try

To be somebody else in somebody else eyes

I wish you could have loved me they way that I'm designed
