Dens - Were (Tamed Sessions) Lyrics

I tried so hard to
Keep balance with
The world on my shoulders
But I couldn't win
I was scared to death
I'd wasted time
That those moments that mattered
Had passed me by

When I failed to give the best of me
When I was never really listening
Who was I then? Who was I then?
When I couldn't seem to measure up
Did it ever really matter much?
Who was I then?

We used to speak
Of holy things
With righteous conviction
So recklessly
I was afraid
We'd forget
That love's still
The greatest of all of these

When our actions used to contradict
Every word flowing from our lips
It's who we were then, it's who we were then
When we treat each moment carelessly
Couldn't see the forest or the trees
It's who we were then

It's who we were then, it's who we were then
It's who we were then

I'm not gonna be dissonant
Don't want to be distant
Don't want to be a hypocrite
Or be indifferent

I just need some wisdom
To be deliberate
To speak with discipline
And be consistent
It's who we were then, it's who we were then
It's who we were then
It's who we were then, it's who we were then
It's who we were then
It's who we were then, it's who we were then
It's who we were then
It's who we were then, it's who we were then
