Lyrics Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - As Sure As the Sun

So now that everybody’s gone you see what change has come
In every song you’ve ever sung you find the words were wrong
But now the time is gonna come and there’s no feeling lost
For everyone you could’ve loved and made me not to love

And all the time
I thought your words were mine
You held me down
As sure as the sun
You held me down
As sure as the sun

Now I could see into your eyes but there’s no compromise
For anyone you coulda saved but never recognized
And now your world is gonna fall but I won’t help at all
For everyone who sees the place, who knows they can’t belong

And all the time
I thought your words were mine
You held me down
As sure as the sun
You held me down
As sure as the sun

You’ve taken away much more than you gave
What keeps me down
I’m lost in a rage, no one can explain
What keeps me down
What keeps you down

So now that everybody’s gone you see no change has come
In every song you’ve ever sung you find the words were wrong
And every paper that you read you feel your spirit grieve
For everyone who’s gonna fall the distance another leaves

And all the time
I thought your words were mine
You held me down
As sure as the sun

And all the time
I thought your words were mine
You held me down
As sure as the sun
You held me down
As sure as the sun

You’ve taken away much more than you gave
What keeps me down
I’m lost in a rage, no one can explain
What keeps me down
What keeps you down
