Who We Are Letra - Hozier

You only feel it when it's lost

Gettin' through still has a cost

Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love

Falling from you drop by drop

What I had left here

I just held it tight

So someone with your eyes

Might come in time

To hold me like water

Or Christ, hold me like a knife

We're born at night

So much of our lives

Is just carving through the dark

To get so far

And the hardest part

Is who we are

It's who we are

You and I burned out our steam

Chasing someone else's dream

How can something be so much heavier

But so much less than what it seems?

Darling, we sacrificed

We gave our time to something undefined

This phantom life sharpens like an image

But it sharpens like a knife

We're born at night

So much of our lives

Is just carving through the dark

To get so far

And the hardest part

Is who we are

It's who we are

Yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah

You only feel it when it's lost

Getting through still has its cost

Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love

Falling from you drop by drop
