Текст песни Nostalgia's Lie - Sam Fender

It caught me off guard
Tears were streamin', my eyes were teemin'
With all of nostalgia's lies
It emptied my heart
All the weight dropped out my stomach
With all my defenses down

What is this place?
Can you take me back to somewhere, darlin'?
Where I feel safe
Down the violet path and the oak tree hollow
Spinnin' and laughin'
Was it ever what I thought it truly was?
Oh

These streets break my heart
There's pain unfurlin' and desperate yearnin'
For all my friends who are gone
Those were the times where we all had nothin'
Most my friends are still against it
For all I've gained, there's somethin' lost

What is this place?
Can you take me back to somewhere, darlin'?
These purple days
Left the violent mark on the oak tree hollow
I was spinnin' and laughin'
Was it ever what I thought it truly was?

Before, I'm pushin' up daisies
Give me a long, heady summer
With arms open wide
I won't take this world for granted
I've become what I've been askin'
I'd accept the path that lays before my eyes

All my defenses down

What is this place?
Can you take me back to somewhere, darlin'?
Where I feel safe
Down the violet path and the oak tree hollow
I was spinnin' and laughin'
Was it ever what I thought it truly was?
