Values Songtext
von Thumb

You held your values so high
How could you sink so low?
You tried to reach for the sky
Now you′ve got nowhere to go
You think it's worth the pain
You say you′re free to choose
Hey, you've got nothing to gain
But everything to lose

I wish I could say everything you used to be blows up in smoke
For everybody else to see it's a joke
Does it make you feel like you have to choke on the words you spoke?
The promise you broke
You were looking kind of smothered in
Caught up in your world of misery
′Cause when you found the light to lead the way
You were looking for a fire to lead you astray


Out of your mind
You were looking for change, you were going blind
Say what you want, do what you want
Be who you want to be

You held your values so high
How could you sink so low?
You tried to reach for the sky
Now you′ve got nowhere to go
You think it's worth the pain
You say you′re free to choose
Hey, you've got nothing to gain
But everything to lose

I don′t understand why you have to sacrifice your ideals
Everything you stood for, I know how it feels
Passing back and forth day by day
Never reaching home (Never falling to the ground)
Held your values high to high to reach
Almost touched the sky, now you're back on your feet
Follow the light again leading the way
It spit out the fire that led you astray
Out of your mind


You were willing to change, you were going blind
Say what you want, do what you want
Be who you want to be

You held your values so high
How could you sink so low?
You tried to reach for the sky
Now you′ve got nowhere to go
You think it's worth the pain
You say you're free to choose
Hey, you′ve got nothing to gain
But everything to lose

You held your values high
Too high for you to keep
You almost touched the sky
Now you′re back on your feet
You had your plans and hopes
You had your dreams to share
Now you've got nothing at all
It′s you and me, now no one

You held your values so high
How could you sink so low?
You tried to reach for the sky
Now you've got nowhere to go
You think it′s worth the pain
You say you're free to choose
Hey, you′ve got nothing to gain
But everything to lose
