They Warned You Songtext
von Calder Allen

What are you running from?
Are you casting into the wind of your sorrows?
How do you find your peace?
Do you promise then
And then leave tomorrow?
′Cause I know you are broken
But you don't have a bone left to borrow
So, I hope that you find a light
Or at least something bright that you can follow

′Cause there's a world out there
You're too drunk to see it
You′re running out of time
And this time I mean it
Because they warned you
If you played with a flame
You′d be gone

They warned you
They warned you


But you chose to go to sea
And you chose to drift without an anchor
'Cause when you left that night
You burned any bridge left to save her
You left her all moralless
And all the love she had just turned to anger
′Cause with a bottle in your hand
I watched a good man become a stranger

There's a world out there
You′re just too drunk to see it
You're running out of time
And this time I mean it
Because they warned you
If you played with a flame
You′d be gone

They warned you
They warned you

So, I wish you all the best
And I wish that I didn't have to worry
But it's hard not to fear
When you′re on your knees and you′re crying out for mercy
And I know that your lines got crossed
And that the good and bad got a little blurry
So, I'll send you off with a prayer
In hopes that the stable ground will hurry


′Cause there's a world out there
You′re just too drunk to see it
You're running out of time
And this time I mean it
Because they warned you
If you played with a flame
You′d be gone

They warned you, if you played with a flame you'd be gone
