lyrics

I think it needs more...

You learn to live without
You learnt to hold the doubt
You learn to bite your tongue
You learn to love the one
You learn to walk on shells
You learn to give 'em hell

And it's not
And it's not
It's not what you came for
It's not what you asked for
It's not what you call out at night
It's not what you call out at night

Whatever went wrong
Whatever went safe
Whatever the name it's all the same
Whatever went wrong
Whatever went right
Whatever it is you need at night
Whatever you took
Whatever you keep
Whatever it is you need to sleep

And it's not
And it's not
It's not what you came for
It's not what you asked for
It's not what you call out at night
It's not what you call out at night

You learn to
You learn to
Whatever went wrong
Whatever went safe
(You learn to live without)
Whatever the name it's all the same
Whatever went wrong
Whatever went right
(You learn to hold the doubt)
Whatever it is you need at night
Whatever you took
Whatever you keep
(You learn to walk on shells)
Whatever it is you need to sleep

It's not what you wanted but it's all that you needed
It's not what you wanted but it's all that you needed
