A Gift & A Curse - Devlin, Chasing Grace

You want to see the best of me

You gotta see the worst of me

You wanna see the gift of me

You gotta see the curse of me

You gotta see the world I’ve seen

You gotta see the dreams I dream

Well, nobody sees me, no

The rise and fall

You gotta see what I’ve seen

Be where I’ve been to achieve these dreams

Be a teen on the UK streets

Scared for your life, getting chased through the night

And the world’s getting ruthless

You got a red eye, everybody’s on a high

And the matters got stupid, so have I

All you ever do is bring me down

I’m living up to the name you gave me tonight

And I am silent, that’s why everybody wants me to live a lie

I ain’t sure being thirty, I come from a place where the good die young

And the bad die when is their time, they say this to the face

Just know that my head’s inside two worlds so my new name’s two face

You want to see the best of me

You gotta see the worst of me

You wanna see the gift of me

You gotta see the curse of me

You gotta see the world I’ve seen

You gotta see the dreams I dream

Well, nobody sees me, no

The rise and fall

I showed you the gift, let me show you the curse

You get big, then vultures emerge

And so called friends try pulling your bird

Once again, I gotta roll in the curb

And I try to live my life with morals

But find myself in many more quarrels

So I seek salvation in words

So many votes, a gift and a curse

The reason I flourished and grew

Might be the reason I feel malnourished and blue

I felt pain in the world

My arteries run through the chambers of hell

All I know is from an young man’s view

I’ve seen some things so amazing in this world

Sometimes the grass is greener

Sometimes is quite hard to tell

You want to see the best of me

You gotta see the worst of me

You wanna see the gift of me

You gotta see the curse of me

You gotta see the world I’ve seen

You gotta see the dreams I dream

Well, nobody sees me any more

The rise and fall

Head in the sky, but my hands on the floor

Hard, but this night, will survive through this storm

You gotta see the world I’ve seen

You gotta see the dreams I dream

But nobody sees me at all, the rise and fall
